Programming for Biomedical Engineers: Introduction to Computers, Programming and Data

Catalog description

Computers are ubiquitous tools in all engineering disciplines. Biomedical engineering pushes the limits of computational power in all applications--from small computers embedded in medical devices to large computer clusters used in research projects. Understanding the fundamental operation of computers, and how to efficiently and effectively program them, are critical knowledge and skills for biomedical engineers. Covers the fundamentals of computer architecture and operation, and how to program them. Utilizes the MATLAB and Python programming languages and prepares students for applying these languages for problem solving in upper-level biomedical engineering classes.
