Introduction to devices that can realize electromechanical energy conversion, especially flexible devices based on piezoelectric and electrostatic effects. Such devices can work as energy harvesters, sensors, and actuators, with board applications in constructing self-powered systems, collecting information from ambient environment, and providing haptic feedback to human body. This course aims to prepare students to work professionally in academic researching or companies focusing on advanced technology.

CILO-1: Design energy harvesters, sensors, and actuators for human-machine interactivity applications. CILO-2: Analyze and evaluate emerging issues and challenges in wearable electronics. CILO-3: Communicate effectively using technical terminology and visual aids to describe and explain the basic working principles of flexible electromechanical devices based on piezoelectric and electrostatic effects.
