Course description |
Recently, almost all mechanical products and systems come to have embedded electronics to attain at least some level of autonomy. Sensors are the indispensable components in such automatization of mechanical systems. Students will learn various sensors in this course. The topics covered in this course range from temperature, magnetic, and mechanical sensors to chemical and biosensors. Optical sensors will be covered in Advanced Environmental Mechanical Systems IV. The topics covered in the course include: - Temperature/magnetic/mechanical sensors - MEMS - Chemical sensors/biosensors |
Expected Learning |
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to: - Explain the working principles of popular sensors - Select appropriate sensors for their own experiments |
