"LASERS AND ELECTRO-OPTIC SYSTEMS 4 ENG4088\nAcademic Session: 2023-24\nSchool: School of Engineering\nCredits: 20\nLevel: Level 4 (SCQF level 10)\nTypically Offered: Semester 1\nAvailable to Visiting Students: Yes\nShort Description\nLaser Fundamentals and Laser Applications course.\n\nTimetable\n4 lectures per week\n\nExcluded Courses\nNone\n\nCo-requisites\nNone\n\nAssessment\n75% Written Exam\n\n25% Written Assignment\n\nMain Assessment In: December\n\nAre reassessment opportunities available for all summative assessments? Not applicable\n\nReassessments are normally available for all courses, except those which contribute to the Honours classification. For non Honours courses, students are offered reassessment in all or any of the components of assessment if the satisfactory (threshold) grade for the overall course is not achieved at the first attempt. This is normally grade D3 for undergraduate students and grade C3 for postgraduate students. Exceptionally it may not be possible to offer reassessment of some coursework items, in which case the mark achieved at the first attempt will be counted towards the final course grade. Any such exceptions for this course are described below. \n\nCourse Aims\nThe aims of this course are to:\n\n■ provide students with a clear understanding of the behaviour of light and its interaction with optical materials;\n\n■ introduce basic laser theory;\n\n■ describe some examples of engineering metrological applications of lasers.\n\nIntended Learning Outcomes of Course\nBy the end of this course students will be able to:\n\nLaser Fundamentals\n\n■ describe the engineering science of electromagnetic radiation and how it propagates;\n\n■ apply this basic science to design beam handling systems;\n\n■ describe and explain the fundamentals of the design of laser devices;\n\n■ write the specification of a laser for a particular application;\n\n■ discuss the multi-disciplinary nature of engineering systems;\n\nLaser Applications\n\n■ describe the nature of light and its interaction with a range of optical materials;\n\n■ apply basic optical principles to the choice and design of simple optical systems;\n\n■ describe the process of laser operation and the role of basic subsystems;\n\n■ evaluate the use and appropriateness of lasers for some common engineering metrology applications.\n\nMinimum Requirement for Award of Credits\nStudents must attend the degree examination and submit at least 75% by weight of the other components of the course's summative assessment.\n\n\nMore information at: https://www.gla.ac.uk/postgraduate/taught/sensorandimagingsystems/?card=course&code=ENG4088" . .

"The MSc programme in Sensor & Imaging Systems lasts one year and contains a minimum of 180 credits. Students undertake a minimum of:\n\n60 credits at the University of Glasgow (semester 1), and\n60 credits at the University of Edinburgh (semester 2)\nThe remaining 60 credits will take the form of an extended MSc project, carried out on a specific aspect of theoretical, computational or experimental aspect of Sensor and Imaging Systems. Projects will be conducted at Glasgow and/or Edinburgh Universities while embedded within a research group or groups – under the direct supervision of a member of academic staff.\n\nStructure\nThe curriculum undertaken by each student will be flexible, and tailored to the prior experience and expertise of the student, his/her particular research interests and the specific nature of the extended research project topic provisionally identified at the beginning of the MSc programme.\n\nGenerally, however, courses taken in semester 1 will focus on skills, understanding and knowledge in the fundamentals of SIS, while courses taken in semester 2 will provide training in more specialist aspects."@en . . . .

"You will gain an understanding of sensor-based systems applicable to a whole host of markets supported by CENSIS.\n\nCareer opportunities are extensive. Sensor systems are spearheading the next wave of connectivity and intelligence for internet connected devices, underpinning all of the new ‘smart markets’, e.g., grid, cities, transport and mobility, digital healthcare and big data.\n\nYou will graduate with domain-appropriate skills suitable for a range of careers in areas including renewable energy, subsea and marine technologies, defence, automotive engineering, intelligent transport, healthcare, aerospace, manufacturing and process control, consumer electronics, and environmental monitoring.\n\nGlobally, the market for sensor systems is valued at £500Bn with an annual growth rate of 10%. The Scottish sensor systems market is worth £2.6Bn pa. There are over 170 sensor systems companies based in Scotland (SMEs and large companies), employing 16,000 people in high-value jobs including product R&D, design, engineering, manufacturing and field services."@en .
