Learning outcomes
At the end of the course, the student knows the principles physical theory underlying the operation of sensors. He knows the basics of classical dynamics, the meaning of work and energy and the fundamentals of electromagnetism. They know the elementary tools of combinatorics and probability. They know the most common sensors and actuators used in computer science and, using an appropriate programming language, they are able to solve simple problems and apply the concepts learned to these devices and sensors.
