Course description
The sensor technology course covers the principles and applications of various types of sensors to collect data from the environment. During the course, students learn the following main aspects of sensor technologies:
1. Basics of sensors: types of sensors (for example, pressure, temperature, humidity, motion, sound, light and others), the principle of operation of sensors.
2. Applications of sensors: Application areas of sensor technologies such as medicine, automotive, smart cities, industry 4.0 and others.
3. Data collection and processing: methods of data collection using sensors, processing and analysis of the information received.
4. Internet of Things (IoT): the use of sensors in Internet of Things systems to create smart devices and systems.
5. Data Security and Privacy: Security considerations when working with data collected through sensors.
6. Future Technologies: Latest trends and developments in sensor technologies such as wearable devices, self-driving cars, smart homes and others.
