Learning activities and teaching methods
Monological explanation (lecture, presentation,briefing), Self-study (text study, reading, problematic tasks, practical tasks, experiments, research, written assignments), Laboratory work
  • Class attendance - 56 hours per semester
  • Preparation for credit - 20 hours per semester
  • Preparation for exam - 34 hours per semester
  • Preparation for laboratory testing; outcome analysis - 30 hours per semester
  • Preparation for formative assessments - 10 hours per semester
Learning outcomes
The students will familiarize themselves with the basic principles behind sensors and microsensors. The principle of operation, characteristic properties and common application of selected sensors will be presented. The course will also deal with reliability of sensors and finishes with a chapter on microactuators.
Students will acquire the basic knowledge about selected sensors and their application. The student will be able to work with these sensors. The student will know their construction and all their important properties, which affect the possibility of their application.
Prerequisites
Unspecified
