 You must research on TWO different sensors.
 Submission:
 Submit a hard copy; no more than 12 slides. You MUST print 6 slides on a single sheet.
Make sure they are readable. Include only useful information. DO not submit more
than two sheets of paper.
 You must also submit an electronic version to the discussion group
 The file name should be:
 YOUR-NAME_SENSOR-NAME_SENSOR2-NAME.doc
 Example: CHRIS_SMOKE_WATER-LEVEL.doc
 Please share your ideas on the discussion group and each student should try
writing about a DIFFERENT sensor
 Do not include very typical sensors such as temperature or photodiodes. HERE are
some of the good examples: Pressure, accelerator, PH, optical, humidity,
elevation, water level, shock and vibration, position, ultrasonic, etc. You can use:
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sensors
 http://www.electronics-manufacturers.com/info/sensors-and-detectors/ultrasonic-
sensor.html
 and many more…
