Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Design a sensor network for a high-rise building that ensures both clustering and redundancy are applied effectively. Specify the sensor types and their placement.

💡 Hint: Think about stress points in tall structures.

Challenge 2 Hard

Assess a case where sensor clustering was pivotal in preventing a structural failure in a bridge. Discuss what could have happened without it.

💡 Hint: Consider historical bridge failures for examples.
