Electrical Engineering MA, Specialization Project within Detector and Measurement Systems, 9 credits

Aim

The course aims to develop the students ability to conduct limited research studies in the area of detector and multispectral measurement systems. Typically the course is conducted within a research project. In addition to obtaining and using information from technical literature and related work in the field, the student must be able to model, simulate, and implement a system according to the requirements specification.

Course objectives

After passing the course, the student should be able to:
- formulate a solution to a given problem within radiation measurement systems,
- show synthesis of knowledge within semiconductor based detectors and analysis methods for large data streams through realization of a radiation measurement system,
- model, simulate and implement parts of the suggested radiation measurement system based on a requirements specification.

Content

The course includes
- In-depth study of an area in multispectral measurement systems,
- Project in multispectral measurement systems in a specific area
- Analysis, systematic problem solving and implementation of a multispectral measurement system.
