Main Subject

Geography

Study Level

Masters

This program is designed to qualify those with training in various scientific and engineering fields to understand, work with and develop modern numerical methods, electronics, measurement system characterization, computer data acquisition/control, and the physical principles of the operation of various measurement transducers and sensors. The degree candidate is required to take part in an instrumentation project, which can be in a wide variety of research and industrial test areas. In many cases the project will occur in disciplines other than physics and can be performed in an industrial setting with appropriate departmental supervision. Projects related to a student's profession are encouraged; indeed, as MSI students do not typically receive financial support from the Department, many pursue this degree while working full time in industry. Note that projects involving proprietary and/or confidential research can be accommodated. While this is a non-thesis Master's degree, the successful project is fully documented and results in a detailed written report of the project.
