Learning outcomes of the course unit
Measurement fundamentals, signal processing methods (DAQ) and sensors overview based on various physical principles and sensors applications in practice. Introduction to modern sensor trends, the industrial communication protocols in sensorics and DAQ.
Prerequisites
Theoretical knowledge of physics, fundamentals of electronics and algorithmization.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Teaching is suplemented by practical laboratory work.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
Course credit award requirements: active participation in laboratories, elaboration and commit of laboratory reports. Examinations: written and oral, classified by ECTS.
Aims
Theoretical fundamentals and practical know how of the applied sensors, data acquisition (DAQ) and industrial communication protocols. The course focused on the field of modern production machines and systems, mobile robotics and standalone testing. Acquired knowledge enables students to integrate into teams dealing with implementation of advanced systems within interdisciplinary fields in engineering practice.
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
Attendance at lectures is recommended, attendance at seminars is monitored. Maximally two absence are compensated by individual missing laboratory reports working out.
