Course history

Introduction

The student should have the following outcomes upon completing the course:

Knowledge

Upon successful completion of the course, the student should have

  • specialized knowledge to differentiate technologies used for sensors and actuators in medical and health care applications.
  • an advanced technical understanding of the transduction mechanisms and sensory schemes.
  • a good understanding about building a sensor and actuator in specific cases involving medical and health care applications.

Skills

Upon successful completion of the course, the student can:

  • categorize sensors and actuators based on their applications.
  • calibrate optical and electrical spectra using multivariate calibration.
  • analyze the performance of sensors and actuators.

General competence

Upon successful completion of the course, the student should:

  • understand the role of sensors and actuators in medical devices.
  • can explain and discus challenges related to sensors and actuators that are applied medical and health care applications to experts and non-experts alike.
  • can design a system that is based on sensors and actuators with a specific transduction mechanism.

Required preliminary courses

Lectures and practical semester exercises. The students work both individually and in groups. The groups normally comprise 3-4 students. The student will supplement the lectures and lab with their own reading.

Individual assigments

Practical training

Practical semester exercise.

Learning outcomes

The following coursework must be approved before the student can attend the exam:

  • Semester exercise in a group of 3-4 students, resulting in a report between 7500 and 15000 words. The total working load will be approx. 60 hours per student.

Teaching and learning methods

Various work methods will be used such as lectures, discussions about current issues, case analysis, and assignments. The students are expected to work on assignments both individually and in groups outside of the joint lectures.

Course requirements

The following coursework requirements must have been approved in order for the student to take the exam:

During the course, the students are required to, in groups of 2-5 people, give either (a) an oral presentation of a research paper, or (b) prepare a detailed written summary of a research paper. For the presentation, the time allocated for each article or case is about 20 minutes including class discussion. The presentation will be evaluated on content, critical reflection and discussion, presentation style, and one discussion question to be presented for class discussions.;

The students who participate in the course are supposed to sign up for a presentation group in Canvas.

All required coursework must be completed and approved by the given deadline in order for the student to take the exam. If one or more coursework requirements have not been approved, the student will be given the opportunity to submit an improved version one time by the given deadline. ;

Assessment

A handheld calculator that cannot be used for wireless communication or to perform symbolic calculations. If the calculator’s internal memory can store data, the memory must be deleted before the exam. Random checks may be carried out.

Permitted exam materials and equipment

Grade scale A-F

Grading scale

Two internal examiners. External examiner is used periodically.
