5.1. Methodological overview
- The course will be based on combining theoretical explanations with practical exercises and laboratory work.
- Lectures will provide theoretical background on fundamentals of instrumentation and sensors
- Case studies and real applications will be worked out at the classroom
- The students will do laboratory work related to sensors and instrumentation systems
- Individual and group assignments will be proposed
- Student participation is considered very important in order to acquire the learning outcomes and skills needed
5.2. Learning tasks
Classroom activities: 2,4 ECTS (60 hours)
1) Course lectures (T1) (30 hours).
Fundamentals of electronic instrumentation and sensors will be developed, mixing theoretical concepts and practical applications.
2) Case studies (T2) (15 hours)
Different case studies will be worked out at the classroom. Students are encouraged to prepare them in advance. Assignments could also be worked out in this part.
3) Laboratory work (T3) (15 hours).
Several laboratory sessions will be carried out in small groups. Each session will be evaluated in the laboratory. Students have to prepare sessions in advance.
personal work: 3,6 ECTS (90 hours)
4) Assignments (T6) (20 hours)
Individual and group assignments will be proposed
