Textile Electronics - Materials and Systems

Catalog description

For electronics integration, textiles are considered an unconventional substrate and a potentially disruptive technology space within wearable electronics. The objective of this course is to survey concepts in textile electronics including devices (communication, sensors, energy storage, digital processing) and use cases (military, health, wellness, infotainment). Students will examine materials and processing methods used in textile electronic development. Finally, students will use entrepreneurial design concepts to fabricate a textile electronic system.
