| 102-0510-00L | Introduction to Environmental Monitoring | 3 credits | 4P | E. Morgenroth, M. Floriancic, I. Hajnsek, L. von Känel | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Abstract | Typical parameter which are relevant for environmental systems are measured with modern sensors. The measuring devices are put together and programmed using a Sensebox (Arduino-based measuring box). The environmental data are analyzed and compared with information from literature. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Learning objective | - Gain understanding of measuring with modern sensors and basic understanding of electronic signal transmission. - Practical application of programming in the languages Arduino (C++) and Python. - Planning and carrying out measurement campaigns independently. - Be able to estimate the precision and correctness of measurements. - Use time series analysis profitably. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Content | The observation of different environmental systems is possible: - Weather and rain data. - heat island effect of cities. - Evapotranspiration: evaporation of water from the surface and from plants. - Measurement of environmental parameters in water bodies. - Indoor air quality. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
