With the development of the Internet, the Internet of Things has also experienced explosive growth. Recently, the State Grid Corporation has made comprehensive deployment arrangements for the construction of a ubiquitous power IoT, further reforming and innovating to improve energy production efficiency and the intelligence level of electricity usage.
Sensors, as information collection devices in the Internet of Things, are an important means for various information processing systems to acquire information, playing a crucial role in the IoT. The field of knowledge involved in sensor technology is very broad, and the demand for professionals in this area is increasing. Currently, courses related to sensor technology are core courses in electrical, electronic information, automation, and IoT majors at colleges and universities. This issue specially presents the latest published textbooks for reference and selection by schools.
Author Profile
Shen Yanqing, Associate Professor at Chongqing Industrial Vocational Technical College, member of the Chongqing Artificial Intelligence Society. From 2017 to 2018, she visited the University of Maryland as a backbone teacher for Chongqing’s characteristic majors, and in 2010 participated in electrical technology training at Australia’s Qismont College.
