Handbook

You must be currently enrolled in a master’s course in engineering or related STEM and in a related discipline. The unit assumes that you have the necessary foundational knowledge.

You will work collaboratively on your laboratory experiments and group projects as a team where you can learn from your peers, and develop skills for organising and planning learning activities.

You will participate in enquiry-based learning where you will define research questions for your group project that will be answered over the semester by completing the project.

To promote the learning of concepts and principles, you will work with other students and the instructor to solve related real-world problems.

The unit includes interactive online sessions during workshops and practical classes where you work either individually or in small groups to solve related real-world problems and past exam questions.

Recorded lectures and online live workshops.

You will work on a group project during the semester where you will need to research the most recent developments in sensing and instrumentation techniques and propose solutions to improve existing instrumentation systems.

Quizzes will be provided to consolidate your learning.
