In this unit, you will deepen your understanding of and skills in the practice of physics. You will design and undertake a self-led experimental investigation that elucidates a core concept in physics, and will assess the efficacy of this process through a systematic framework. You will also explore the practice of physics within its professional and societal context, its ethical and legal implications, and how it interrelates with Indigenous perspectives and sovereignty both in Australia and globally.","title-full":"PVB307 Physics in Practice","title-short":"Physics in Practice","url":{"current":"https://qutvirtual4.qut.edu.au/group/student/enrolment/units/unit?unitCode=PVB307&year=2026","prospective":"https://www.qut.edu.au/study/unit?unitCode=PVB307","timetable":"https://qutvirtual3.qut.edu.au/qvpublic/ttab_unit_search_p.process_teach_period_search?p_unit_cd=PVB307"},"year":2026,"years":[2026]}
