Bullet Smart Sensors Systems EuroTraining Quality Labeled (QL) Approved Engineering Training Course

     24-27 April 2006, Delft, The Netherlands

 

General Information About the Course

Lectures are given by top experts from universities and industries. The prerequisite for the course is a basic knowledge of electrical circuits and systems. Course will be taught in English. Each attendee will receive a certificate of attendance at the course.

 

Short Description

Recent developments in the field of smart sensor systems are reviewed. After a general overview system details are discussed, concerning: sensor principles, tandem transducers, smart analog interfaces, modifiers, A/D conversion, busses and digital interfaces, DSPs and microcontrollers. A systematic approach towards the design of smart sensor systems is presented. The lectures include case studies and hands-on demonstrations.

 

Location

The course will be held at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science, Mekelweg 4, Jan Anthony Snijderszaal, room LB1.010 of Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands.

Bullet Sensors Related Conferences and Exhibitions

 

1) SensorsGov Expo & Conference

    6-8 December 2005, Hampton Roads Convention Center, Hampton, VA, USA

SensorsGOV

 

SensorsGov Expo & Conference is the leading sensor-centric technology event filling the specific educational, development and resource needs of U.S. Government and Military organizations such as the Department of Homeland Security, Department of Defense, Joint Forces, Army, Air Force, NASA, Department of Commerce, National Institutes of Health, Food and Drug Administration, Coast Guard and Port Authorities. It will provide a valuable and unique educational and networking platform to exchange ideas and explore collaborative opportunities for sensor R&D communities across Government and Military agencies. Sensor technology thought leaders and innovators from the Government, Military and industry will come together to participate in a unique and critical exchange of information, challenges and solutions. For more information, visit www.sensorsexpo.com

 

 

2) 2006 IEEE Sensors Applications Symposium - UPDATE

 

The 2006 Sensors Applications Symposium has moved from New Orleans to Houston for 2006 because of New Orleans' severe storm damage from Katrina. 

 

The dates remain the same - 7-9 February - and the new venue is the Marriott West Loop by the Galleria Hotel.
