Sensors and Sensor Networks ZAT218
This unit will be offered subject to minimum enrolment numbers. A decision to continue or cancel the offering will be made no less than one week before classes are due to start.
If you have enrolled and your enrolment will change as a result of this decision you will be contacted via your UTAS email and supported to find an alternate unit to complete your enrolment.
Introduction
In this unit, you will learn how sensor technologies and big data are enabling disruption for transformational change across all sectors of society. You will deploy sensors and develop the knowledge and skill to identify, install and calibrate sensors based on industry need. You will design sensor networks that can communicate and transmit unprocessed data for use in API and external systems. Through case studies and practical exercises you will develop an end-to-end sensor network meeting near-real-time data requirements. In conjunction with the discipline theory, this unit builds on concepts of learning through practice in Year 1 of study by introducing you to more complex learning experiences. You will be introduced to: - discipline-based skills and knowledge in dynamic practice situations. This will include authentic and purposeful, industry-related experiences - concepts of managing effective relationships and communicating with others - the development and use of adaptive leadership skills and how these skills relate to innovative and entrepreneurial practice - the nature of responsible, accountable and reflective workplace skills, and creative and critical thinking relevant to para-professional practice. You will exercise self-awareness, initiative and judgement to manage yourself and professional relationships effectively. The application of tacit knowledge and capabilities will be reflected in a Practice Manual.

Note
Please check that your computer meets the minimum System Requirements if you are attending via Distance/Off-Campus.
Units are offered in attending mode unless otherwise indicated (that is attendance is required at the campus identified). A unit identified as offered by distance, that is there is no requirement for attendance, is identified with a nominal enrolment campus. A unit offered to both attending students and by distance from the same campus is identified as having both modes of study.
* The Final WW Date is the final date from which you can withdraw from the unit without academic penalty, however you will still incur a financial liability (refer to How do I withdraw from a unit? for more information).
