A small plasma system using microwave oven was developed for the application of surface modification and cleaning in thin films research. The microwave oven with 800-Watt power generates 2.45-GHz frequency. The vacuum chamber was inserted into the microwave oven from the top of oven wall and it was evacuated by a rotary pump to less than 7 x 10-3 Torr. This system can generate argon and oxygen plasma at a pressure of 0.2 – 3.0 Torr. This small plasma system was applied to clean a surface of microscope glass slide using argon and oxygen plasma. To reveal the effects of argon and oxygen plasma on material surface the glass slide was measured by contact angle tensiometer. The results show that the contact angle between a water droplet and glass surface decreases with increasing the exposure time. This result indicates that the cleanness of material surface was improved by using the small plasma system.

The purposes of this research were 1) to construct and evaluate the efficiency of the Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI) on Nuclear Physics class to have 80:80 effectiveness standards. 2) to compare learning achievement between pre-test and post-test scores after using the CAI 3) to study student’s opinion about CAI. Samples were the second year of Science and Technology students of the Rajamangala University of Technology Thanyaburi in 2011 academic year selected by simple random sampling. The first test was done by one-to-one evaluation and the second one by a small group in order to revise the CAI before implementing within the subject. The efficiency of the CAI was evaluated by experts both in content and production technique of the courseware. The results of this research were shown : 1) the CAI on Nuclear Physics contained the effectiveness at 87.00:85.33 which was higher than the standard criterion set (80:80) 2) the comparison between pre-test and post-test was found that the post-test score of students who studies with CAI were significantly higher than the pre-test score at .05 level and 3) the mean score of the student’s opinion about CAI was 4.35 shown that most of them satisfied the CAI on Nuclear Physics at good level.
