-This course deals with cyber-physical systems i.e. physical systems or processes that are monitored or controlled by a computer. More specifically the course focuses on microcontrollers and how to apply them to practical applications. A microcontroller is a small computer on a single chip with a significantly reduced size and cost compared to a personal computer (PC). Microcontrollers are programmed using a PC to perform a specific task and can then do this while either remaining connected to the PC or disconnected from the PC and powered by an external power source such as a power supply, battery (power bank) or solar cell panel.

-Cyber-physical systems are often used in e.g. industrial, agricultural and medical applications. If combined with wireless communication, cyber-physical systems can exchange data with e.g. Internet of Things (IoT) services. An example is the monitoring of water towers in Sierra Leone established by EWB-DK.
