Specialist Certificate in Sensing and Actuation (Classroom & Asynchronous e-Learning)
About This Course
The micro-credential is for learners who are keen to develop a strong foundation in system modelling, control, and embedded implementation. It begins with the working principles of sensors and the processing of both continuous-time and discrete-time signals. Learners will then progress to modelling physical systems and designing closed-loop controllers to achieve desired performance. The final phase focuses on embedded systems, where learners will integrate sensors and actuators into a working prototype and implement remote monitoring and control using an Internet of Things (IoT) framework. By the end of the course, learners will be able to demonstrate the full cycle of embedded systems integration—from sensing and control to real-time deployment.
