Bioinstrumentation and Devices II. 3 credits

Catalog description

A major part of Bioengineering involves the design of instruments that allows us to both make measurements and intervene in living systems. This course delves deeper into two aspects of bioinstrumentation: the theory and use of different sensors commonly encountered in bioengineering devices, and the development of microcontroller-based circuits that interface with such sensors. Students will gain knowledge of microcontroller circuit design and programming, interfacing with sensors and their applications in Bioengineering. Students will demonstrate their understanding of the subject by designing a microcontroller-based device that performs a biomedically-relevant measurement. Offered by Bioengineering . May not be repeated for credit.
