Embedding Sensors and Motors

The courses in this specialization can also be taken for academic credit as ECEA 5340-5343, part of CU Boulder’s Master of Science in Electrical Engineering degree. Enroll here . 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

• Specify appropriate sensor solutions to gather real-time process data
• Implement sensors in embedded hardware and software systems
• Modify hardware schematics to add sensors and necessary support circuitry
• Create hardware and firmware to process sensor signals for microprocessor evaluation

• Basic familiarity with the topic and its common terminology
• Readiness to practice through applied exercises or case-based work
