The objective of the "SENSOR" module of the Fundamentals of digital engineering applied to agriculture course is to provide the student with full knowledge of both the correct metrological language and the functioning of the main measuring instruments for digital agriculture applications. The sensors will be analyzed both considering the design process and the operating principle. The expected results according to the Dublin descriptors are the following:

- Knowledge and understanding: Know the definitions of the static and dynamic meter characteristics, know the definitions of the units of measure, understand the meaning of probability distribution linked to the measure in order to be able to define the extended uncertainty, understand the concept of sampling and analog-digital conversion, includes the operation of a measuring instrument for the electrical evaluation of mechanical and thermal quantities and in digital agriculture applications.
- Ability to apply correct knowledge and understanding: Having an understanding of the scientific approach in the field of measurements. Have the ability to independently carry out a calibration and associate the correct uncertainty in the function of the instruments used. Understanding the significance of the results through applied statistics. Have the ability to carry out a dynamic study of first and second order measuring instruments.
- Judgment skills: The student will be able to evaluate the sensors most suitable for a given use and will be able to select the correct application in the world of agriculture.
- Communication skills: The student will acquire the skills to be able to argue the metrological concepts and uncertainty in the exam, as well as the operating principle of sensors and the importance of the world of measurements in the agricultural field.
- Ability to learn: The student will acquire the skills to be able to independently deepen the study of advanced sensors or the use of such as artificial intelligence, in addition to the basic ones seen above.

The objective of the "Fundamentals of Mechatronics and IOT" module of the Fundamentals of digital engineering applied to agriculture course is to provide the student with full knowledge of the mechatronics fundamental components: automation and electronics with application to digital agriculture.
The expected learning results are: (i) the knowledge of the theoretical contents of the course (Dublin descriptor n°1), (ii) the competence in presenting technical argumentation skills (Dublin descriptor n°2), (iii) autonomy of judgment (Dublin descriptor n°3) in proposing the most appropriate approach to argue the request and (iv) the students' ability to express the answers to the questions proposed by the Commission with language properties, to support a dialectical relationship during discussion and to demonstrate logical-deductive and summary abilities in the exposition (Dublin descriptor n°4).
