Course Objectives

The Goal of the course is to provide Undergraduate and Graduate Mechanical Engineers with a practical, working knowledge of modern sensor technologies. The course offers an overview of the basic sensor technology areas with examples drawn from existing products, and includes a series of laboratory exercises.

Course content will include some sensor operational principles, some basic electronics, and many specific examples of sensors available from suppliers today. At the end of the course, I hope students will understand how many sensors work, what issues limit the use of sensors for measurements, and how to select sensors for specific applications.

There are 5 problem sets, 5 lab exercises, a midterm exam, and a term paper to make up the assignments of this class. The laboratories take place in Terman 577, which is open 24 hours/day, 7 days/week.
