Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences
The aim of the course is to introduce students to the basic principles of operation of sensors used in the automotive industry. Students will learn about the latest trends in HW and SW development of sensors, in relation to the physical, chemical and mechanical properties of the materials used. Students will also learn about the process of development and testing of these sensors. The acquired knowledge about the functioning of sensors will enable them to approach the problem of automotive component development in a qualified way. The practical part of the course includes excursions to laboratories and development sites for the automotive industry.
