sensor, and interfering with the magnetic field to change the impedance of the coil.  The winding of wire around a ferromagnetic core generates a magnetic field when an AC signal is applied.  The sensor is to be used in small proximity applications (within 0 - 15mm).  The amplified output voltage allows for recordable voltage values due to small proximity changes during testing. Figure 3: CAD of model of the inductive proximity sensor and the laboratory setup Figure 4: Calibration plot for inductive proximity sensorStudent Feedback: At the end of the semester, the instructor asked students to participate in ananonymous survey regarding their experiences on projects and the overall course
