About

Lessons are not given in the academic year 2024/2025

Course content

Design and practical development of an optimized sensor system. Optimization depends on project type and may include: energy consumption, components, size, packaging, mass production, production costs, function, user interface, etc. Development of a sensor system prototype using necessary tools such as: simulation tools and / or specialized software and selected working methods. Practical realization of an optimized sensor system; Planning and documenting the project work.
