Essential Engineering & Technology for Global LeadersⅠto begin on October 4, 2016

 Class List of Fall Semester 2016

“Essential Engineering & Technology for Global Leaders Ⅰ” will begin on October 4. This is a lecture for students who are in “Minor Course of Science and Technology for Global Leaders”. But all master’s & doctoral students can take it if you have interest. The lecture will be conducted in English.

Lecture Objective

Prof. TripetteThis course mostly focuses on novel ICT solutions able to positively impact our habits towards healthier lifestyles. The inclusion of accelerometer sensors in technologies that we used every day (smartphones, video games…) allows to monitor the volume of daily physical activity, encouraging active lifestyles and a better management of energy balance. In the future, new ICT might play a crucial role for the prevention of metabolic disorders and the increase of healthy life expectancy. The objective of this course is to make students more familiar with the accelerometer-based mobile health technologies. Practical work will be completed.

Comp.Res.Build. R804 Essential Engineering & Technology for Global Leaders I is a 15-lecture course. The 5 first lectures consist in introducing the different accelerometer-based technologies that can be used for promoting healthy lifestyles. During the 10 following lectures, students will design and build their own physical activity monitor (MANPOKEI) using an Arduino board. Lectures are conducted in “simple” English.

  1. Guidance and introduction to some important health promotion concepts (Q&A + lecture)
  2. Physical activity assessment ad lifestyle monitoring (lecture)
  3. Accelerometre-based technologies (video games, smartphones…) for health promotion (lecture)
  4. Using a physical activity monitor (or “lifelog”) – I (readings and Q&A)
  5. Using a physical activity monitor (or “lifelog”) – II (practical work)
  6. Introduction to Arduino (practical work)
  7. 3-axis accelerometer with Arduino (practical work)
  8. Building a physical activity monitor: 3-axis accelerometer and memory (practical work)
  9. Building a physical activity monitor: real time clock (practical work)
  10. Building a physical activity monitor: making it work (practical work)
  11. Building a physical activity monitor: making a case with 3D printer (practical work)
  12. Building a physical activity monitor: calibration and step count algorithm-I (practical work)
  13. Building a physical activity monitor: calibration and step count algorithm-II (practical work)
