Prerequisites
basic knowledge in chemistry, physics, electronics
Course learning outcomes
  1. The student knows and understands the principle of operation of sensors selected to identify a given analyte or signal.
  2. The student knows how to use the appropriate measurement system and perform measurements using specialized measuring equipment.
  3. The student is ready to critically formulate conclusions from laboratory experiments and their verification in the context of the current state of knowledge and technological solutions in the field
Programme learning outcomes
  1. The student is prepared to critically assess his knowledge and perceived content, recognize the importance of knowledge in solving cognitive and practical problems, and seek expert opinions in case of difficulties with solving a problem on his own.
  2. The student can use his knowledge - formulate and solve complex and unusual problems and perform tasks in conditions that are not fully predictable by: proper selection of sources and information derived from them, evaluation, critical analysis and synthesis of this information; selection and use of appropriate methods and tools, including advanced information and communication techniques.
  3. The student can communicate with the environment using specialized terminology, take part in a debate - present and evaluate various opinions and positions and discuss them, both in the mother tongue and in a foreign language at B2 level of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.
Programme content The course covers basic knowledge of chemical sensors. In addition, as part of the course, students gain theoretical and practical knowledge on the use of fluorescence spectroscopy in sensing and the use of electronic semiconductor devices for the construction of sensors.
Assessment methods
Laboratory: Students are required to carry out 6 laboratory experiments and prepare 5 reports (one of the proposed exercises is carried out in two classes and reported in one report consisting of two parts).  The mark from the laboratory consists of the average grade from reports on laboratory experiments.
Lecture: The mark from the written exam is valid.
Final grade of the course: 50% mark from laboratory 50% mark from lectures.

 
Grading policies Written exam from the lecture part of the subject and preparation of reports from the laboratory part of the subject
