Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around selecting an elective for a Master's program in the context of a participant's background in physics. The participant is considering various options and seeks advice on which elective might align best with their interests and studies.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses a preference for Material Science but admits to a lack of understanding of the subject.
  • Another participant suggests that the choice of elective should be closely related to the participant's Master's focus, implying that alignment with their studies is important.
  • A later reply emphasizes that if the participant is studying condensed matter physics, Material Science could be a suitable elective, while if they are focusing on astrophysics, then Lasers and Laser Applications might be more appropriate.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants have not reached a consensus on the best elective choice, and multiple viewpoints regarding the relationship between the elective and the participant's Master's focus remain present.

Contextual Notes

The discussion lacks specific details about the participant's Master's program focus, which may influence the elective choice.

hi all,
right now I'm in dilemma about my admission procedures. I'm required to select an elective for my M.Sc from following ones:
NB.I completed my B.sc (physics)

:confused: :confused: :confused:

1) Digital Electronics
2) Microprocessors
3) Radio Communication and T. V.
4) Industrial Electronics
5) Network Analysis
6) Communication Electronics
7) Physics of Semiconductor Devices
8) Vaccum Technology and Thin Film Physics
9) Material Science
10) Astrophys/cs and Astronomy
11) Lasers and Laser Applications
12) Atmospheric Physics
13) Renewable Energy Sources

which would be the best option, i have an affinity towards Material science. (:biggrin: albeit I'm unware what material science is all about) any suggestions highly appreciated...
eagerly waiting for ur comments folks :)

what are you doing for your M.Sc? It would probably be a good idea to choose an elective that's most related to what your studying.

forgot to mention about my current education. :rolleyes: i did my B.SC (physics)

No, I mean what are you doing for your master's program. For example if you are doing condensed matter physics for your masters it might be a good idea to take material science. Or if your taking astrophysics for your masters it might be a good idea to take lasers and Lasers applications as an elective.
