This course covers the fundamental tools of sensing and instrumentation that are currently used by both engineers and scientists. The transversal science of metrology is discovered, focused on uncertainty analysis and calibration. A range of sensor technologies is then investigated with emphasis on the underlying physical principles. Electronic circuits for the capture of sensor signals are considered, along with limitaitons such as noise. The course explores instrumentation systems including wireless sensor networks (WSN) and micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS).
Information on contact teaching time is available from the course guide.
