The 7th edition of the course "Fundamentals and Applications of Near Infrared Technology” has its beginning next December 1st, 2022, running through to March 15th, 2023.
The course, coordinated by Professors Ana Garrido Varo and Dolores Pérez Marín, requires a workload of 6 ECTS. Upon successful completion of the course, the student is issued two certificates:
- Certificate of Achievement by ICNIRS ( http://www.icnirs.org/).
- Certificate issued by the University of Córdoba with the recognition of the credits (6 ECTS) of the course
The theoretical lectures, practical exercises, interactive self-learning exercises, and tools, virtual visits to laboratories, etc. cover basic NIR concepts, such as applications of NIRS in a variety of situations in private and public companies. By completing the course, the student will achieve the following learning outcomes:
- a basic, theoretical, and practical understanding of NIRS spectroscopy.
- the ability to work independently with various types of NIR data to determine quantitative and qualitative information.
- identify his/her needs regarding further education/training in order to become a qualified NIRS professional.
- identify those NIR applications which are ready to be implemented at the industry/laboratory level and those which are still in need of additional research and development work.
The course is structured into 30 on-demand video lectures of about 1 hour each. Students can attend the lectures via the Internet at any time and from anywhere during the course period according to the timetable. The lectures can be interactive, and the lecturer can respond to the student's questions and discussions on Modules at any time and from anywhere as well.
