The self-calibration process in the BNO055 involves continuous monitoringand compensation for various sensor errors and biases. During the initialization phase, the sensorgathers data from its built-in sensors and utilizes algorithms to estimate and calibrate the sensor'sinternal parameters. This includes calibrating the accelerometer to account for any misalignmentor sensitivity differences, compensating for gyroscope drift, and calibrating the magnetometer toadjust for any hard and soft iron

of buildinginformation modeling (BIM) software has begun to integrate these processes; however, for themost part, designers and engineers continue to operate within classical, architectural-versus-structural paradigms. This still un-reconciled gap between architectural and engineering modesof production calls for further research into means and methods for the unification of the designapproach. In an attempt to integrate these parallel developments, an emerging design approach usescomputational building performance simulations to create a new relationship between buildingtechnology education and architectural design studio teaching.

Otheronline course developers agree that teaching and maintaining an online course takes a considerableamount of time [4].
