Sensors & Actuators

second cycle, Master

The graduate / the student: * knows the process chain between sensors and actuators * can characterize the wide range of sensors * can formulate advantages and disadvantages of different sensors for a given application and select sensors suitable for the application * acquires the ability to describe the structure of sensors, interpret data sheets and carry out measurements * can interpret measurement results and know their formats in order to optimize further data processing

according to admission requirements

* Definition/classification of sensors * Structure and function of a measuring chain * Fields of application and functional principles of sensors * Basics of microsensors * Sensor properties (static and dynamic behavior, reliability, etc.) * Measurement errors and sources of error * Calibration * Signal transmission/processing * Basic terms of relevant measurement technology * Application of sensors for different areas (e.g. temperature, weight, pressure, acceleration, position, etc.) * Analysis and evaluation of functional principles and sensor properties * Structure and properties of data transmission and data processing in a measurement chain * Evaluation, interpretation and storage of measurements
