This course introduces acoustics by using the concept of impedance. The course starts with vibrations and waves, demonstrating how vibration can be envisaged as a kind of wave, mathematically and physically. They are realized by one-dimensional examples, which provide mathematically simplest but clear enough physical insights. Then the part 1 ends with explaining waves on a … [Read more...] about Intro to Acoustics (Part 1)
Electrical Engineering
Sensors and Sensor Circuit Design
This course can also be taken for academic credit as ECEA 5340, part of CU Boulder’s Master of Science in Electrical Engineering degree. After taking this course, you will be able to: â— Understand how to specify the proper thermal, flow, or rotary sensor for taking real-time process data. â— Implement thermal sensors into an embedded system in both hardware and software. … [Read more...] about Sensors and Sensor Circuit Design
Collaborative Robot Safety: Design & Deployment
As robots evolve and increasingly interact with humans, enhancing the safety of personnel working with these “collaborative robots†(cobots) is vital. This course equips you to assess the safety of a collaborative robot workcell and prevent the chances of injury or harm. It imparts industry-endorsed safety standards, technical report recommendations and best practices from … [Read more...] about Collaborative Robot Safety: Design & Deployment
Magnetics for Power Electronic Converters
This course can also be taken for academic credit as ECEA 5703, part of CU Boulder’s Master of Science in Electrical Engineering degree. This course covers the analysis and design of magnetic components, including inductors and transformers, used in power electronic converters. The course starts with an introduction to physical principles behind inductors and transformers, … [Read more...] about Magnetics for Power Electronic Converters
Converter Control
This course can also be taken for academic credit as ECEA 5702, part of CU Boulder’s Master of Science in Electrical Engineering degree. This course teaches how to design a feedback system to control a switching converter. The equivalent circuit models derived in the previous courses are extended to model small-signal ac variations. These models are then solved, to find the … [Read more...] about Converter Control
