Description
This supervised project aims to synthesize previously acquired knowledge while also requiring the student to acquire new knowledge. Currently, the project focuses on the development of a meteorological data acquisition system. This involves installing various sensors that measure characteristic physical parameters such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, pressure, light intensity, and pollution. These sensors will generate an electrical signal that encapsulates the information to be transmitted. The information is selected and then encoded. It is subsequently transmitted via fiber optics or wirelessly until it is decoded and formatted for display.
Objectives
The goal is to foster students’ sense of responsibility by developing their initiative and their ability to work independently within a study group (no more than 16 people) as part of a specific technology project that illustrates the various fields of EEA (analog and digital electronics, measurement, sensors, and information encoding, transmission, and decoding).
Mandatory Prerequisites
Fundamentals of Electricity, Electrical Measurements, and Electronics
Knowledge Assessment
Students will be required to submit a comprehensive report presenting their experimental work and to give an oral presentation before a panel. Emphasis will be placed on scientific rigor, the interdisciplinary nature of the EEA fields, and clarity in both written and oral communication.
