IntroductionIntroductionMarie Curie Chairs (EXC) is one out of 3 actions devoted to the promotion and recognition of scientific excellence and created with the aim to increase the visibility and attractiveness of European researchIt strongly focused on both: research and teaching activities (at least 50 % of project time for teaching activities)Teaching activities should be connected with new research results obtained during the project


Course HighlightsCourse HighlightsDescribes a systematic approach towards design of low-cost, high-performance smart sensors systems, digital and intelligent sensors

Base on the novel measuring methods and techniques to built smart sensors systems

Uses innovative teaching methods

Updated on annual basis

Benefits both: academia (graduate and post-graduate students) and industry (engineers and researchers)

SummarySummary

The course is based on new research results obtained during the SMARTSES project in emerging field of smart sensors systems design, digital and intelligent sensors with self-adaptation and self-identification possibilities – highly relevant to European research interests

The developed course has received a high appreciation from industry and students (based on off-line and on-line questionnaires prepared by EC and Fundació UPC

Due to positive feedback from industry the Fundació UPC has decided to propose this course annually in order to improve industry and university collaboration in education.
