A sensor is an electronic component or subsystem utilized for detecting modifications or events within its environment. A computer processor is one good example of sensor technology, also touch-sensitive elevator buttons known as tactile sensor. This innovation made a huge impact in the world of information and technology and almost every field or industry is using it for productivity and progress. 

This course will talk about sensors and their fundamentals. Technology is not just for the design process, but is becoming an integrative part of Landscape Architecture Design. Sensors represent a tremendous opportunity to augment sustainable design and behavior for environmental monitoring. They can be used for a wide variety of sustainable design uses. This webinar discuses the basics of sensors, how they work, types of sensors, and how they can be used in design.
