2025 Programme

The course consists of three parts, each part is 4.5 hours long.

The course is delivered virtually, over three half-days. The three units are:

  • Part one – Introduction and performance characteristics of sensors and actuators
  • Part two – The physics, applications and selection of sensors and actuators
  • Part three – The practice – interfacing of sensors and actuators with particular emphasis on microprocessors and microprocessor-based platforms
