Embedding Sensors and Motors will introduce you to the design of sensors and motors, and to methods that integrate them into embedded systems used in consumer and industrial products. You will gain hands-on experience with the technologies by building systems that take sensor or motor inputs, and then filter and evaluate the resulting data. You will learn about hardware components and firmware algorithms needed to configure and run sensors and motors in embedded solutions.

What's inside

Four courses

Sensors and Sensor Circuit Design

(0 hours)
This course can also be taken for academic credit as ECEA 5340, part of CU Boulder’s Master of Science in Electrical Engineering degree. After taking this course, you will be able to understand how to specify the proper thermal, flow, or rotary sensor for taking real-time process data.

Motors and Motor Control Circuits

(0 hours)
This course, also offered as ECEA 5341 for CU Boulder's Master of Science in Electrical Engineering degree, is the second in our specialization on Embedding Sensor and Motors. It assumes familiarity with the hardware and software development kit used in our first course, Sensors and Sensor Circuits.

Pressure, Force, Motion, and Humidity Sensors

(0 hours)
This course, also offered for academic credit as ECEA 5342, focuses on pressure, force, motion, and humidity sensors. It assumes familiarity with the hardware and software development kit used in the first course in this specialization, "Sensors and Sensor Circuits". Upon completion, students will be able to specify and integrate these sensors into embedded systems, process sensor signals, and feed data to a microprocessor for further evaluation.

Sensor Manufacturing and Process Control

(1 hours)
This course, also known as ECEA 5343, explores sensor manufacturing and process control. It covers sensor signal characterization, manufacturing techniques, and PID control. Students will learn to optimize sensor accuracy and tune PID control loops.

Learning objectives

  • Study a lab experiment or production process and understand how to specify the proper sensor solution for taking real-time process data
  • Implement the sensor into an embedded system in both hardware and software
  • Modify existing hardware schematic to add sensors and all support circuitry needed to implement the signal chain in existing microprocessor system
  • Create hardware and firmware to process the sensor signal and feed data to a microprocessor for further evaluation
