"WAVES & DIFFRACTION PHYS4031\nAcademic Session: 2023-24\nSchool: School of Physics and Astronomy\nCredits: 10\nLevel: Level 4 (SCQF level 10)\nTypically Offered: Semester 1\nAvailable to Visiting Students: Yes\nShort Description\nTo provide students with an opportunity to develop knowledge and understanding of the key principles and applications of Waves & Diffraction, and their relevance to current developments in physics.\n\nTimetable\n 18 lectures, on Mondays at 11am and Fridays at 10am\n\nExcluded Courses\n None\n\nCo-requisites\nMathematical Methods 1; Quantum Mechanics; Thermal Physics\n\nAssessment\nExamination (100%)\n\nMain Assessment In: April/May\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\nTo provide students with an opportunity to develop knowledge and understanding of the key principles and applications of Waves and Diffraction, and their relevance to current developments in physics.\n\nIntended Learning Outcomes of Course\nBy the end of the course students will be able to demonstrate a knowledge and broad understanding of Waves and Diffraction. They should be able to describe and analyse quantitatively processes, relationships and techniques relevant to the topics included in the course outline, applying these ideas and techniques to solve general classes of problems which may include straightforward unseen elements. They should be able to write down and, where appropriate, either prove or explain the underlying basis of physical laws relevant to the course topics, discussing their applications and appreciating their relation to the topics of other courses taken.\n\nMinimum Requirement for Award of Credits\nNot applicable\n\nMore information at: https://www.gla.ac.uk/postgraduate/taught/sensorandimagingsystems/?card=course&code=PHYS4031" . .

"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 .
