DESCRIPTION:Many applications exist for low-cost sensors for environmental 
 and agricultural applications. Traditional sensor technologies\, such as t
 hose fabricated with macro-machining or MEMS techniques often have long an
 d expensive development cycles. These sensors can also be very expensive t
 o manufacture in small quantities. Dr. Robert Dean at Auburn University ha
 s been developing a variety of low-cost sensors applicable to environmenta
 l and agricultural applications by using commercial printed circuit board 
 (PCB) technology. This technology is mature\, low-cost\, and has short fab
 rication times. With this sensor technology\, electrodes on the circuit bo
 ard are designed so that they electromagnetically interact with the enviro
 nment surrounding the circuit board. The presence or quantity present of a
  measurand results in a corresponding change in the circuit board’s impe
 dance\, which is easily detected with electronic circuitry. This sensor te
 chnology has been applied to various applications including drought monito
 ring\, sea turtle nesting research\, soil moisture content measurement\, r
 ust detection\, etc.\n\nSpeaker(s): Prof. Robert Dean\, \n\nRoom: G65\, Bl
