Course Description
This course introduces the student to the two areas of transduction: sensing and actuation, and to the practical aspects of interfacing transducers to computers to form embedded systems. The course illustrates the limitations of measurement and its effect on sensors and actuators through coverage of measurement techniques and transduction devices. It includes transducer/processor interfacing, and software techniques for data acquisition and control. This course is strongly laboratory-based with a substantial project component. ENSC 305-1, taken concurrently with this course, will assist the student with project management and documentation.
Prerequisites
Successful completion of ENSC 225-4 or CMPT 290 is required for students wishing to take this course. This course must be taken in conjunction with ENSC 305-1.
