ECE 4950/ECE 5960: Sensor Design

Professor El-Ghazaly created a new upper-level undergraduate/M.Eng. course on the design of sensor systems. The course focuses on the design of the transducers (i.e., sensors) and peripheral circuitry required to build a working sensor system that meets the needs of a given application. The course considers common specifications and tradeoffs, including sensitivity, specificity, dynamic range, resolution, power consumption, size, bandwidth, and cost.

Students who have taken ECE 3030 (Electromagnetics) and ECE 3150 (Microelectronics) are encouraged to join! The many fun labs are highlighted below.

  • Black Box Sensors
  • Stealth
  • Speedometers
  • Cooking and Baking
  • Flow
  • Mine Safety/Gases
  • Autonomous Vehicles
