Graduate Diploma in Scientific lnstrumentation<br />
(1 984 syllabus)<br />
This course is primarily intended for graduates in a scientific or<br />
engineering discipline who require a detailed knowledge <strong>of</strong> the<br />
design, construction and operation <strong>of</strong> modern laboratory instrumentation.<br />
The program is designed as a two-year part-time course, the<br />
normal attendance requirements be~ng eight hours per week<br />
(two evenings) for four fifteen-week semesters.<br />
The course is based on a unit structure, each <strong>of</strong> which<br />
comprises sixty hours <strong>of</strong> class time (one evening per week for<br />
one semester). Not all units will be available in any one year,<br />
student demand being taken into account in determining which<br />
un~ts are <strong>of</strong>fered in any semester.<br />
Moreover, there is some choice between introductory units and<br />
advanced units, the former being designed to prepare the<br />
student for the latter when this is necessary. The project unit is<br />
compulsory.<br />
To qualify for the award, a student must complete eight units, at<br />
least six <strong>of</strong> which must be at the advanced level, including the<br />
project unit. (Students may take more than two introductory<br />
units, but credit will only be given for a maximum <strong>of</strong> two.)<br />
Enrolment In introductory units must be approved by the Head<br />
<strong>of</strong> Physics.<br />
