Learning outcomes
After the course, the student is able to - use different data acquisition software - write the results of the works in a form of technical reports - use angle sensors, analyse the measurement data and knows their strengths and limitations based on own measurements - use shape memory actuators, analyse the measurement data and name their strengths and limitations based on own measurements - use piezoelectric actuators, analyse the measurement data and name their strengths and limitations based on own measurements - use micropumps and name their strengths and limitations based on own measurements - implement microfluidic structures using PDMS
