Department: Department of Automation
Aim: The purpose of the course is to enable the student to design and verify complex Aero-space instrumentation systems. The course emphasise standard design drivers as quality, precision, longevity, robustness and industrial norms and standards. To enable a conceptual verification, the students are required to realize critical parts of their designs in the laboratory. The theories, techniques and methods learned are common to aerospace, medico-techniques, military electronics, robotics etc.
Contents: The course is sectioned into two parts: The class hours, where theory, standards and methods are taught, and a laboratory part, where teams of students form study-groups, that solves practical assignments. These assignments are all derived from the international satellite projects in which the department participate, why it is the intention, that the designs are to be used for later missions. Therefore, the assignments includes both system engineering, robustness and space-hardning aspects as well as instrumentation aspects.
