Unit description
Introduces students to the application of a systems-based engineering approach to design of smart sensing and control systems. A scenario-based learning approach is used to guide students in applying a range of practical tools and techniques along with skills in systems analysis, engineering design and project management to a real industry-based engineering project.
Unit content
Module 1: Introduction to smart sensing and its applications
Module 2: Sensor design and fabrication
Module 3: Wireless communication and networking for smart sensing systems
Module 4: Wearable and implantable sensors for healthcare applications
Module 5: Smart sensing for transportation and environmental monitoring
Module 6: Smart sensing for energy management and sustainability.
Learning outcomes
Unit Learning Outcomes express learning achievement in terms of what a student should know, understand and be able to do on completion of a unit. These outcomes are aligned with the graduate attributes. The unit learning outcomes and graduate attributes are also the basis of evaluating prior learning.
| On completion of this unit, students should be able to: | |
|---|---|
| 1 | employ a systems approach that accounts for existing and emerging practical knowledge of sensor technology and control systems behaviour along with other relevant contextual factors to define and analyse a well-defined problem related to smart sensing and control systems |
| 2 | apply practical engineering methods, techniques, tools and resources to design solutions to a well-defined problem related to smart sensing and control systems |
| 3 | successfully complete and communicate the outcomes from a well-defined project related to smart sensing and control systems |
| 4 | self-assess use of management skills, social skills and professional judgement in contributing to the successful completion of a well-defined project related to smart sensing and control systems. |
