The students obtain knowledge about the wireless sensors, which are used in the home, building and transport automation- They will work with the Zigbee protocol and Atmel wireless nodes.

The subject knowledge on the Bachelor´s degree level is requested.

Not applicable.

Techning methods include lectures and practical laboratories. Course is taking advantage of e-learning (Moodle) system. Students have to write a single project/assignment during the course.

Requirements for completion of a course are specified by a regulation issued by the lecturer responsible for the course and updated for every year.
