Type of course

Admission requirements

A relevant undergraduate Bachelor Engineering program with minimum 25 credits mathematics, 7,5 credits physics.

Application code: 9371

Course content

The course is divided into two main parts:

• Thermography - In this part, student will learn to obtain and interpret the data from thermography using infrared thermal imaging devices and associated software.
• Spectroscopy - In this part, student will learn the basic theory behind spectroscopy and typical measurement techniques in both laboratory and field environments.

In both, students learn to appreciate the applications of electromagnetic waves in infrared, visual and ultraviolet bands of the electromagnetic spectrum.
