Course programme
Sensor R&D and applications have dramatically increased over recent years and the technologies and applications are extremely varied. This has been driven by new sensor technologies, developments in electronics and data networking enabling the collection of data efficiently and the increased demand for improved efficiencies which require active monitoring and feedback. It is difficult to think of any area of engineering which does not make use of sensing technology. The aim of this programme will be to provide students with a core understanding of the generic instrumentation and signal processing requirements common to all sensing applications together with a choice of more specialised modules relating to specific application areas and industries.
Taught modules and examinations/assessments are completed during the six months October to March. After successful completion students may then progress to the six month individual research project during April to October. We endeavour to place students with industrial sponsors for the duration of their projects, with all other projects being undertaken at the University.
Learning, teaching & assessment
The taught section of the programme is assessed by formal examinations, course work and case studies. The project is assessed through a dissertation, an oral presentation (viva) and an assessment by the project supervisor.
