"MSC PROJECT PHYS5021P\nAcademic Session: 2023-24\nSchool: School of Physics and Astronomy\nCredits: 60\nLevel: Level 5 (SCQF level 11)\nTypically Offered: Summer\nAvailable to Visiting Students: Yes\nShort Description\nThis course provides students with an opportunity to carry out an extended, in-depth research project embedded within one of the Department of Physics and Astronomy's internationally-leading research groups. In undertaking this project students will gain, within a first class training environment, subject-specific and generic skills that will form an excellent foundation for a career of scientific leadership in academia and industry.\n\nTimetable\nNone\n\nExcluded Courses\nNone\n\nCo-requisites\nNone\n\nAssessment\n1) Performance during project (40%)\n\n2) Project dissertation (40%)\n\n3) Oral presentation (20%)\n\nAre reassessment opportunities available for all summative assessments? No\n\nReassessment of the project dissertation and oral presentation is normally available for students on PGT degree programmes if they do not achieve an overall course grade of D3 at their first attempt.\n\n \n\nIt is not practical to reassess the project work.\n\nCourse Aims\n(1) To provide advanced training and experience in the principles and practice of experimental, computational and/or theoretical (astro-)physics, using advanced instrumentation, methodology and software as appropriate, and in the critical analysis of experimental data.\n\n(2) To develop problem solving abilities, critical assessment and communication skills, to a level appropriate for a career of leadership in academia or industry\n\n(3) To employ these skills in preparing and writing a dissertation on an extended and demanding project.\n\n(4) To encourage students to work effectively, to develop a professional attitude to what they do and to take full responsibility for their own learning.\n\nIntended Learning Outcomes of Course\nAt the end of the course students should be able to:\n\n \n\n(1) Recover, evaluate and summarise the professional literature and material from other sources concerned with a chosen area of physics or astronomy\n\n(2) Prepare a written analysis of the current position in the chosen area, which should include a critical\n\ncomparison of material from the sources he/she has identified and a summary of likely future developments.\n\n(3) Define, with the help of colleagues and taking into account the time available, a suitable area of work for a project and hence make a preliminary definition of goals to be achieved during the project\n\n(4) Make an appropriate safety assessment for the work proposed; with the help of colleagues, analyse what experimental/theoretical/computational methods might be necessary to achieve the goals of the project and hence decide how the project tasks should be organised\n\n(5) Perform the practical part of the investigation, taking due account of experimental errors of measurement and possible assumptions and approximations in analytical and computational work as appropriate\n\n(5) Revise the goals and strategies for completion of the project in the light of results achieved and\n\ndifficulties encountered.\n\n(6) Write a report on an extended piece of project work, which should include a critical evaluation of the significance of the work and how it compares with work done in the same area, both within the local area and as reported in the general scientific literature\n\n(7) Prepare an abstract of the work performed of length about 250 words in the accepted scientific format.\n\nMinimum Requirement for Award of Credits\nNone\n\n\n\nMore information at: https://www.gla.ac.uk/postgraduate/taught/sensorandimagingsystems/?card=course&code=PHYS5021P" . .

"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 .
