Computer scientists with extensive knowledge in Instrumentation and Sensors will increase their employability options in the field of electronics"

One of the most important achievements of mankind took place during the Industrial Revolution. It was in that moment that they realized the importance of having a sequential, strict and automated process as far as possible, in order to produce a product in large quantities at a relatively low cost.  

Today, large-scale industry is based on the continuous use of machinery and processes controlled by mechanical and electronic devices. Employment in the industrial sector has reinvented itself and continues to do so, as operators increasingly require a higher technical and multidisciplinary qualification, as they are required to handle and understand up to date technology.  

This Postgraduate certificate in Instrumentation and Sensors at TECH analyzes the different types of sensors and actuators found in industrial processes and specifies the types of control systems in order to understand the intervention of an actuating device depending on a physical or chemical variable to be measured. The distribution of established topics develops, in a coherent and organized manner, the functioning of these devices from two perspectives: the scientific vision of the phenomena involved and the practical applications. In this way, the computer engineer will be able to develop a critical sense when selecting the different elements, according to the process involved in their professional performance. 

In short, this is a 100% online Postgraduate certificate that will allow students to distribute their study time, not being restricted by fixed schedules or having to move to another physical location, being able to access all the contents at any time of the day, balancing their work and personal life with their academic life.

Understanding the characteristics of Instrumentation and Sensors in electronic systems will be fundamental in order to be proficient in the creation of this type of device"

The Postgraduate certificate in Instrumentation and Sensors contains the most complete and up to date program on the market. Its most notable features are:
