The course covers the theory, principle and technology of sensors and measurement concepts by developing the students’ understanding of fundamental of measurement instruments encompassing sensors and interfacing techniques to transfer the measured data for monitoring and/or further signal processing purposes. Background in electronic circuit design, basic knowledge of physics, chemistry and molecular/cellular biology are required before taking the course. There will be small design projects for the labs to reinforce sensor interfacing. Topics include the fundamental of physical, chemical, and biological sensors used for various applications including health or industrial applications; design of interface circuit dedicated to each sensor; quality factors of sensors’ performance including resolution, dynamic range and sensitivity. Also this course enables the electrical engineering students to learn the principle and operation of main electrical measurement instruments. The state of art sensor technology and the job opportunities in this field will also be discussed briefly. Three hours lecture and three hours laboratory weekly.
