Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

A temperature sensor consistently reads 1.5 degrees higher than actual temperatures during long-term monitoring. Evaluate how drift could affect the reliability of temperature data over time and suggest a solution.

💡 Hint: Consider how often the sensor data is checked.

Challenge 2 Hard

Describe the processes and importance of maintaining sensitivity in a pressure sensor used in a hydraulic system. What issues might arise if sensitivity is compromised?

💡 Hint: Reflect on the critical nature of pressure changes in hydraulic applications.
