Learning Outcomes
After taking this course, students will be able to outline and discuss the latest advances on digital measurement techniques in the broad field of critical urban infrastructure. These include water flow/pressure metering, IoT (Internet of Things) sensors for water and energy applications, simulation of virtual sensors and sensor networks architectures, and processing of sensor data.
The technical content on new digital technologies will be coupled with content on the relevance of smart sensing techniques for better monitoring and resilience of interconnected critical urban infrastructure (e.g., water networks, electricity grid, sensor networks). The students will learn what the current research challenges in the field of digital metering are, in different scientific settings.
Students will also be able to apply qualitative and quantitative techniques of systematically analysing, summarizing and presenting scientific data and articles. They will then be able to approach the practical implementation of solutions to currently relevant problems in the field of digitalisation of critical urban infrastructure in the “Smart City Hackathon”.
