Course Overview

The Scanning Electron/Ion/Probe Microscopy in Materials Characterization certification program by Swayam aims to teach learners about the three microscopy variants which aid in obtaining a solid material’s surface morphology at nanometer ranges. This is an ongoing core course for eight weeks, a built-in collaboration between Swayam and IIT Kharagpur. The curriculum mainly focuses on postgraduate aspirants, technicians, engineers, and researchers (biological and material scientists). 

The Scanning Electron/Ion/Probe Microscopy in Materials Characterization certification syllabus initializes learning by covering these microscopy techniques’ essential principles, how different parameters affect image quality, preparing various samples, and interpreting data/results. It also uses practical examples to explain these techniques’ advancements. With every week, the curriculum progresses towards other core areas such as scanning probe microscopy, AFM operation modes, using probe microscopes, and others. 

The Scanning Electron/Ion/Probe Microscopy in Materials Characterization online course features recognition amongst any material-related industries. What’s more, the program also provides digitally-verifiable certificates to help candidates seek employment in such sectors or their associated companies.

Eligibility Criteria

The Scanning Electron/Ion/Probe Microscopy in Materials Characterization certification course requires interested candidates to hold an M.Sc. or BE degree. 

Moreover, the Scanning Electron/Ion/Probe Microscopy in Materials Characterization certification is only available for candidates who secure an adequate final score, which will be the sum of his/her examination score and average assignment marking. 

Swayam will consider 75% of the test’s score (out of 100) and 25% of the assignment marks (best six out of the total eight). To achieve certification, aspirants should acquire >=10/25 for their in-course assessments and >=30/75 for their proctored exam. Failing to maintain this, candidates cannot receive certificates even after getting >=40/100 or more.
