slides, notes, and background information covered in first week of this six week set of classes

This document provides example feedback which has been generated following the marking of a class set of portfolios. It is used as a part of the Routes to Success Module, specifically on the section titled Sustaining Success. Students can read the feedback prior to completing the portfolio to alert them to the possible shortfalls which may occur when they undertake this type of task. The feedback is introduced in the context that the task of completing the portfolio is a developmental one, and that students can expect to learn and improve their performance for this type of task as they develop and refine their skills.

Part of the GCU Professorial Public Lecture Series. These lectures aim to showcase the research of our recently appointed or promoted Professors for a non specialist audience. This lecture reflects on significant lessons learnt from four decades of research dating from the early days of the laser, through the challenges of measuring the temperature and properties of practical flames leading to the engineering of much cleaner engines.

Professor Smith explains how fluorescence emission from a molecule can be used to interrogate the surrounding environment and hence how sensors based on fluorescence can be developed for a wide range of applications. For more than 30 years, she has been involved in the research of optical-based sensing technologies and has published widely in this area with a particular interest in fluorescence-based sensors applicable to industrial applications. She said: “Fluorescence-based sensing technologies have widespread application, therefore an understanding of how these sensors work and the potential benefits for industry is important.”

Presentation

The engineering subject center provides support for engineering students and staff in higher education at university. The website provides articles helping students in a large range of subjects, such as book reviews for a variety subjects, support in writing reports or essays and personal development in subject areas and university life in general.
