Wireless Sensor Networks
Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) refers to spatially dispersed and dedicated sensors that monitor and record the physical conditions of the environment and forward the collected data to a central location. WSNs can measure environmental conditions such as temperature, sound, pollution levels, humidity and wind.
Signal Processing
Signal Processing is a field of electrical engineering that aims at processing, analysing and collecting relevant information from the recorded signals. It emphasizes on determining the elements of interest in the captured signal. The signals are recorded in the form of waves and could be used to monitor the brain activities of humans. They are generally in the form of audio.
Control, Intelligent Systems and Robotics (CIR)
Control and Robotics is concerned with the general problem of modelling systems and machines and then programming them to respond correctly to inputs. Optimization and mathematical techniques are crucial, especially as the scale of the systems of interest grows.

Integrated Circuit
An integrated circuit (IC), sometimes called a chip or microchip, is a semiconductor wafer on which thousands or millions of tiny resistors, capacitors, and transistors are fabricated. An IC can function as an amplifier, oscillator, timer, counter, computer memory, or microprocessor.
Energy Auditing
A simple definition of an energy audit is the act of examining a building’s electricity usage and identifying ways to minimise consumption. The efficient planning and operation of energy production and consumption units is part of energy management.
