The Sensors course provides a comprehensive introduction to the principles, types, and applications of sensors used in modern technology and engineering systems. This course explores how sensors detect, measure, and convert physical parameters such as temperature, pressure, motion, light, humidity, and chemical properties into usable electrical signals.

Learners will gain an understanding of sensor characteristics, operating principles, signal conditioning, accuracy, sensitivity, calibration, and error analysis. The course also examines how sensors are integrated into real-world systems, including industrial automation, IoT devices, robotics, healthcare equipment, environmental monitoring, and smart technologies.

Designed for learners seeking both theoretical knowledge and practical understanding, this course explains complex concepts in a clear and accessible way. By completing Sensors, participants will develop the ability to select appropriate sensors for specific applications, interpret sensor data correctly, and understand how sensors contribute to intelligent and automated systems. This course is ideal for anyone looking to build a strong foundation in sensor technology and its growing role across engineering, science, and digital innovation industries.
