Description
This supervised project aims to synthesize previously acquired knowledge but also to require students to work on new knowledge. Currently, the project focuses on the creation of a meteorological data acquisition center. This involves installing various sensors that measure characteristic physical quantities such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, pressure, light intensity, and pollution. These sensors will generate an electrical signal that synthesizes the information to be transmitted. The information is selected and then encoded. It is then transmitted via fiber optics or wirelessly until it is decoded and formatted for display.
Objectives
The objective is to empower students by developing their initiative and ability to work independently within a study group (maximum 16 people) on a given technology project illustrating the different areas of EEA (analog and digital electronics, measurement, sensors, information encoding/transmission/decoding).
Mandatory prerequisites
Fundamentals of electricity, electrical measurements, and electronics
Knowledge assessment
Students will be asked to produce a summary in the form of a report presenting their experimental work and an oral defense before a jury. Emphasis will be placed on scientific rigor, interdisciplinary approaches in EEA fields, and clarity of written and oral expression.
Written report + oral presentation
