 ====== Course Description ======
 ====== Course Description ======
- Unlike a general-purpose computer, such as a personal computer, an embedded system is a special-purpose system in which the computer is completely encapsulated by the device it controls. The embedded system design consists of hardware, software, analog microelectronics, sensors and actuators which are combined for a specific application ranging from communications, to transportation, avionic and to medical instrumentation. Students will gain in-depth technical competence in the various areas including the design of hardware/software for embedded systems, the design of analog interfacing system along with the selection of appropriate sensors and actuators.
+ 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.
