ESPB		6.0	Status	elective
Condition		No prerequisite
The goal		Teaching the students about energy domains, information flow between them, and signal processing. Introduction to the physical principles of operation, measurement techniques, classification and calibration of sensors in each domain. Familiarizing the students with different aspects and challanges of sensor integration in microprocessor based systems.
The outcome		The student knows the energy domains and the principles of the conversion of sensor signals among them. The student knows the most important types of sensors for each energy domain and can choose the optimal sensor for specific applications. Students are capable of solving different problems regarding sensor integration into more complex measurement and control systems.
