It is the expectation of the industry that a large proportion of the graduates will be employed in areas where the emphasis is on creating new systems, and therefore will take on the role of Technical Designer. A smaller proportion of the graduates will become Technical Advisers. There will also be graduates who will fulfill the role of Project Leader or Academic Researcher. You may even use the entrepreneurial skills you have developed to set-up a new company.
A graduate in Advance Sensor Applications can:
- Implement new sensors and develop systems.
- Maintain and manage a large sensor network, with increasing diversity of sensors and data traffic.
- Create a research programme, which can advise companies about sensor applications in consumer products.
- Develop an (embedded) software product on a hardware platform, specifying the operation of sub-systems.
- Develop a sensor platform to implement innovative sensors in a social context.
- Use new scientific developments to create smarter sensor applications.
