Embedding Sensors & Motors Specialization
In this online engineering specialization, you will master sensor and motor theory and program these devices in a microprocessor system. You will complete courses in sensors and sensor circuit design; motors and motor control circuits; pressure, force, motion, and humidity sensors; and sensors and PID control.
By completing this specialization, you will be able to:
- Study a lab experiment or production process and understand how to specify the proper sensor solution for taking real-time process data
- Implement the sensor into an embedded system in both hardware and software
- Modify existing hardware schematic to add sensors and all support circuitry needed to implement the signal chain in an existing microprocessor system
- Create hardware and firmware to process the sensor signal and feed data to a microprocessor for further evaluation
Courses
- Sensors & Sensor Circuit Design
- Motors & Motor Control Circuits
- Pressure, Force, Motion & Humidity Sensors
- Sensor Manufacturing & Process Control
This specialization can be taken for academic credit as part of CU Boulder’s Master of Science in Electrical Engineering (MS-EE) degree offered on the Coursera platform. The MS-EE is an affordable, global master's program powered by you. Learn more about the MS-EE program.
