real-LIFE SKILLS 1 CLASS WORK Follow the instructions. This project is multidisciplinary. It should be carried out in collaboration with the robotics and electrical technology teachers. Goal of the project: to design and describe a system that improves energy efficiency, security, and comfort within a home by using tools such as sensors, actuators, microcontrollers, smart user interfaces, etc. Step 1 Divide the class into four groups. Each group is given a system to design. Group 1: climate control system (heating and cooling) Group 2: automatic and smart lighting Group 3: home security system Group 4: energy management system Each group completes the table with the following information: What is the system? What is the system used for? List all the possible functions. What devices will the system control? System Design Devices 166 ELECTRONICS AND ELECTROTECHNOLOGY
