Trefnydd: Dr Xianfeng Chen

This course aims to provide students with a broad introduction of fundamental concepts, principles and analysis techniques of advanced sensors and systems to enable higher level study in the subject. This course will also provide a view of current developments in specific areas of sensor systems. Applications of these sensor systems and their main producers and users are also introduced and discussed.

Indicative content includes:

• Review of Sensor principles – definitions, desired qualities, sensor system elements, deflection methods, input-output configurations, interfering and modifying inputs.
• Introduction of Microsensor systems – Advantage and disadvantages of microsensors, signal conditioning and processing description, advantages of silicon and fibre optic technologies.
• Description of components, types and applications of thermal, mechanical, magnetic and chemical advanced sensor systems.
• Advanced applications of smart sensors and systems – desired qualities – examples and applications – a look to the future.
• The latest development, hot topics, and technology trends.

trothwy

Equivalent to 50%. Uses key areas of theory or knowledge to meet the Learning Outcomes of the module. Is able to formulate an appropriate solution to accurately solve tasks and questions. Can identify individual aspects, but lacks an awareness of links between them and the wider contexts. Outputs can be understood, but lack structure and/or coherence.

ardderchog

Equivalent to the range 70%+. Assemble critically evaluated, relevent areas of knowledge and theory to constuct professional-level solutions to tasks and questions presented. Is able to cross-link themes and aspects to draw considered conclusions. Presents outputs in a cohesive, accurate, and efficient manner.

da

Equivalent to the range 60%-69%. Is able to analyse a task or problem to decide which aspects of theory and knowledge to apply. Solutions are of a workable quality, demonstrating understanding of underlying principles. Major themes can be linked appropriately but may not be able to extend this to individual aspects. Outputs are readily understood, with an appropriate structure but may lack sophistication.
