Our innovative MSc in Sensor Design has been developed in conjunction with Honeywell, a diversified technology and manufacturing leader. It is intended for recently-qualified graduates or existing engineers/technologists wishing to either commence their career or further their career by undertaking a Masters-level qualification designed for Sensor Design Engineers/Technologists.
The programme provides a solid foundation in the practical techniques required in experimental laboratory work, the analysis of data and computer simulation techniques, including use of industry-standard packages such as Pro-Engineer and Pro-Mechanica.
As this programme has been designed with significant input from industry, there is a strong emphasis on developing practical skills and expertise within the taught element. At the end of the programme, students will have specialist knowledge in the practical and theoretical principles of sensors, coupled with the necessary laboratory and computer-based design and simulation skills to enable them to commence or continue their careers as Sensor Design Engineers/Technologists. In addition, students will have the opportunity to develop professional skills in reportwriting, oral presentation and project management
