CDT in Sensor Technologies and Applications for a Healthy and Sustainable Future

传感器CDT提供以学生为中心的培训，通过在方案的第一年提供关于使能技术(例如，光学成像技术、传感器硬件、MEMS、开放源码技术、传感物理原理、传感器接口和中间件、数据处理)的有组织的授课课程和研究方案，培养未来的传感器创新领导者。学生从事由50多名学者提供的研究迷你项目连接传感器CDT。小型项目持续12周，必须是跨学科的性质，并跨越至少两个部门。至关重要的是，学生群体集体处理传感器设计项目作为团队挑战，在性质上类似于当前工程和化学工程本科教学大纲中的学生设计项目，但比之更广泛。其目的是设计和开发一个从概念到应用的全面工作的传感器系统。在第一年的最后阶段，学生与他们选择的导师合作，开发一个单独的博士研究项目，他们将在方案的第二到第四年进行。重要的是，这些项目是跨学科的，至少有来自两个不同剑桥部门和/或行业的两名主管参与。70多名学者和20多家行业和机构合作伙伴参与了该计划，为学生提供了最大的选择。

The Sensor CDT provides student-centred training to educate future leaders in sensor innovation through the provision of a structured programme of taught courses and research in enabling technologies (e.g. optical imaging technology, sensor hardware, MEMS, open source technology, physical principles of sensing, sensor interfacing and middleware, data processing) during the first year of the programme. Students undertake research mini-projects offered by the over 50 academics connected Sensor CDT. Mini-projects last 12 weeks, have to be interdisciplinary in character and bridge across at least two departments. Crucially the student cohort collectively tackle a sensor design project as a team challenge, similar in nature to, but more extensive than, current student design projects on the Engineering and Chemical Engineering undergraduate syllabi. The purpose is to design and develop, from concept to application, a fully working sensor system. In the final phase of the first year, students develop, in collaboration with their chosen supervisors, an individual PhD research project which they will pursue during years 2-4 of the programme. Importantly, the projects are cross disciplinary, involve at least two supervisors from two different Cambridge departments and/or industry. More than 70 academics and 20 industrial as well as institutional partners participate in the programme, offering the students maximal choice.
