Sensor Technology

This course is designed to provide participants with the knowledge on various types of sensor, their function and application in the manufacturing and process plant. Participants will be exposed to the characteristics of sensors physical construction and important parameters. Hands-on activities for all sensors make the training livelier and more valuable. Selection of sensors and various sensor connection techniques will inspire participants to learn and apply the knowledge at their workplace. This course introduces the concepts of modern sensors and actuators. The subject aims are as follows:-

• Describe the principle characteristic, parameter and function of various types of sensor.
• Perform the various type of connection of sensors.
• Perform troubleshooting of sensors.
• Select the correct type of sensors based on its application
• To explain some of the most important physical principles applied in sensors and actuators
• To show examples of the way that these principles are exploited in proprietary devices
• To highlight some of the most fundamental performance limitations which arise in these devices employing different physical principles 

We practice 70% hands-on training during the course.
