      The goal That PhD students learn about trends in the development of modern sensor systems and special instrumentation, to enable them to model, analyze, design and integrate the elements of advanced data acquisition and measurement system. To enable students to work in the field of computerized instrumentation and measurement systems in scientific research organizations and at the universties.
      The outcome Upon completion of this course, PhD students should know how to: ‐ analyze, model and design elements and to integrate modern sensor system or measurement system with special functionality and application, ‐ the results of their research present in the form of a scientific article acceptable for the publication in a leading domestic scientific journal or international refereed conference.
