| DESCRIPTION | This study-unit aims at providing an understanding at how smart microelectronic systems can be designed and implemented with particular reference to IoE applications. Emphasis is made on analogue and digital interfaces, signal processing, sustainable electronics and design for reliability. Mechanical engineering topics are included to understand the functionality and design of sensors and actuators with the aid of multi-physics modelling, as well the assembly and packaging of such devices. Computer engineering topics contribute to the understanding of data processing and connectivity. System-level design, assembly and integration of these different aspects is critical for the successful production of a smart microelectronic systems. Study-Unit Aims: The aim of this study-unit is provide fundamental knowledge in smart microelectronic technology including microelectronic interfacing and signal processing circuits, sensors and actuators together with the required data processing algorithms and their functional and physical integration as required by an IoE architecture. Learning Outcomes: 1. Knowledge & Understanding: By the end of the study-unit the student will be able to: - explain and discuss how smart microelectronic systems can be implemented within the context of IoE; - compare different computational architectures and communication protocols; - review the functionality and design of sensors and actuators with the aid of multi-physics modeling; - analyse and evaluate digital and analogue integrated circuits targeted for IoE while getting familiar with CAD tools. 2. Skills: By the end of the study-unit the student will be able to: - identify the best micro-sensing principles suitable for a particular application; - choose the best architecture for an IoE application; - design suitable data processing elements and communication protocols; - carry out smart microelectronic system designs.
