TIE-52106 Wireless Sensor Networks and Applications, 5 cr
Additional information
Note to Finnish students: Kurssin kaikki materiaali on englanniksi, mutta harjoituksissa, tentissä ja muussa kommunikaatiossa voi vastata myös suomeksi riippuen henkilökunnan kielitaidosta. Luennoista voidaan harkinnan varaisesti ja erikseen pyydettäessä järjestää suomenkielisiä tiivistettyjä esityksiä.
Suitable for postgraduate studies.
