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
