Pre-Visit Webinar (One Week before the Visit) 
To maximize the learning experience, IEEE Sensors Council MMU will organize a pre-visit 
technical webinar one week before the industrial visit. The webinar will prepare participants by 
introducing key concepts related to data centre infrastructure and sensor-based monitoring 
systems. 

Proposed Webinar Theme 
“Sensor-Driven Monitoring and Reliability in Modern Data Centres” 

Webinar Objectives 
• Introduce participants to data centre architecture (power, cooling, network layers) 
• Explain environmental monitoring using temperature, humidity, airflow, and leak detection 
sensors 
• Discuss redundancy concepts (N+1, 2N, Tier classifications) 
• Explain DCIM (Data Centre Infrastructure Management) systems 
• Highlight roles of sensors in predictive maintenance and uptime assurance 
• Prepare students with technical questions for the industrial visit 

Expected Webinar Outcomes 
Participants will: 
• Understand what to observe during the visit  
• Be familiar with data centre terminology  
• Appreciate the role of sensors in mission-critical facilities  
• Engage more effectively with the ADC technical team
