To have successfully completed the courses of "Fundamentals of Mathematics I", "Fundamentals of Mathematics II", "Fundamentals of Mathematics III", "Programming", "Components and Circuits", "Electronics Devices", "Electronics I", "Electronics II" and " Digital Electronics Systems ". More precisely, students will be required to manage and handle concepts related to integration and derivation, resolution of systems of lineal equations, analysis of electrical circuits in permanent and transitory regimes, basic measurement techniques, semiconductor physics and circuit analysis with diodes, transistors and photonic devices, amplification, A/D conversion, structured programming, basic algorithms, and software debugging.
This course aims to familiarize students with the different types of sensors in the industry, robotics and home automation (temperature, humidity, presence, strength, etc.). Thus, students are prepared to obtain information on how to study the physical fundamentals of the different sensors, the alternatives of implementation, and the conditioning of the signal that allows its integration in a computer-based system. Moreover, some basic alternatives to comunicate a set of sensors, as well as, to estabish wireless networks of sensor are also covered in this course.
