"FUNDAMENTALS OF SENSING AND MEASUREMENT PHYS5044\nAcademic Session: 2023-24\nSchool: School of Physics and Astronomy\nCredits: 20\nLevel: Level 5 (SCQF level 11)\nTypically Offered: Semester 1\nAvailable to Visiting Students: Yes\nShort Description\nStudents will receive training in fundamental aspects of sensing and transduction across all modalities and the generalised concepts and parameters pertinent for transduction of physical phenomena into an electrical signal. The course will provide instruction in the characteristics of sensing and measurement across domains that will enable students to appraise and select appropriate task-specific sensing and imaging modalities and to be able to design and model high-level systems.\n\nTimetable\nTBC\n\nExcluded Courses\nNone\n\nCo-requisites\nNone\n\nAssessment\n1. Written examination\n\na. Unseen examination, comprising compulsory short questions and a choice of 1 from 2 long questions.\n\n2. Written coursework\n\na. One individual assignment\n\n3. Written reports on one problem-based group project and individual project\n\n \n\nDescription of \"Other\" Summative Assessment Method:\n\n4. Oral presentation on problem-based project\n\nMain Assessment In: December\n\nAre reassessment opportunities available for all summative assessments? No\n\nReassessment of the main diet examination is normally available for students on PGT degree programmes if they do not achieve an overall course grade of C3 at their first attempt. Reassessment of the main diet examination is not normally available for students on Honours degree programmes.\n\n \n\nReassessment is not normally allowed, for practical reasons, for any other assessed components of coursework.\n\nCourse Aims\nThe aims of this course are:\n\n \n\na. To provide training in fundamental and general concepts in transduction and sensing\n\nb. Familiarise the student with the salient characteristics of sensing across the main physical domains of electromagnetism (radio, optical), electrical, magnetic, ionising radiation, gravitational, biological, chemical\n\nc. To develop understanding of transduction in electrical signals and signal conditioning\n\nd. To provide understanding of the process of imaging with sensing\n\ne. To provide training in solving problems associating with sensing and imaging\n\nIntended Learning Outcomes of Course\nBy the end of this course students will be able to:\n\n \n\na. Propose and assess a range of solutions to a sensing and imaging problem against pertinent criteria\n\nb. Analyse and evaluate data provided by a range of sensors and imaging systems\n\nc. Demonstrate an understanding of the fundamental limitations of a range of sensing and imaging techniques.\n\nd. Demonstrate an understanding of the physical origins of phenomena to be measured\n\nMinimum Requirement for Award of Credits\nStudents must submit at least 75% by weight of the components (including examinations) of the course's summative assessment.\n\n\nMore information at: https://www.gla.ac.uk/postgraduate/taught/sensorandimagingsystems/?card=course&code=PHYS5044" . .

"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 .
