In this workshop, we work with sensors and focus on how they are used in the industry, using Danfoss IoT (Internet of Things) sensors as a starting point. Students will be introduced to sustainability within the engineering field: Why is it important to consider sustainability as an engineer? What is the circular economy? How can new technology help us become more sustainable?
Students will then be introduced to sensors and given an overview of how they work. The presentation will cover sensitivity, hysteresis, resolution, and error margin of sensors. Afterwards, students will be divided into groups to work with either an angle sensor, a displacement sensor, or a light sensor, which will be connected to LittleBits. The goal is to increase students’ understanding of the precision of the sensors and the advantages and disadvantages associated with them.
Based on Danfoss IoT, students will then go through an idea generation process that engineering students themselves use to find solutions for their projects. The method is called 6-3-5 Brainwriting and is intended to help them find solutions for where Danfoss’s new IoT sensor can be used. Students will be divided into small groups that will work together for the rest of the workshop.

No fixed dates.
The exact date will be determined in consultation with you. However, it is crucial to find a time when our students are ready to hold the workshop for you. We always do our best to accommodate your date preferences.
The duration of the workshop is between 1-2 hours - let us know what your needs are, and we'll adjust the workshop.
We hope that you, as the teacher, will actively participate on the day and help the instructors facilitate exercises and dialogue with the class. We also hope you will support the final evaluation so that we can continuously improve our programme.
Price
The activity itself is free. However, we charge a transport fee if we have to visit you outside the Region of Southern Denmark. If you come to us, you are responsible for your own transport expenses.
