Sensor Manufacturing and Process Control

Module 1 delves into process control, providing an introduction to the course and reviewing 2nd order transfer functions. It also covers PID control, plant-wide controllers, predictive machine maintenance, and digital protocols.

Module 2 focuses on sensor characterization, exploring linearization, temperature compensation, calibration, and sensor accuracy. Students will engage in a lab on closed-loop motor control to apply their learning.

Module 3 delves into advanced sensors, including radar level sensors, range finders (LIDAR), and medical sensors. This module provides insights into cutting-edge sensor technologies and their applications.

Module 4 concentrates on sensor manufacturing, covering MEMS construction, electrical interconnections, sensor housings, and sensor reliability and testing. Students will gain a deep understanding of the manufacturing processes and techniques involved in sensor production.

Module 5 involves course projects based on the videos in the previous modules, allowing students to apply their knowledge and skills in practical settings.
