Biomedical Instrumentation & Design

Catalog description

This course will provide an overview of instrumentation systems used in clinical medicine and biomedical research. The course covers the topics such as basic sensors in biomedical engineering, biological signal measurement and conditioning, data acquisition and data analysis. Systems for measuring biologic signals will be discussed including biopotentials, stress and strain, pressure, temperature, and optical properties. Electrical hazards, safety, measuring instruments and techniques will be discussed. In addition, the course will teach in detail the LabVIEW programming, a graphics tool for virtual instrumentation. The students will learn the techniques of collecting biological signals using basic sensors. They will also learn digitizing and analyzing the collected biological signals with LabVIEW and data acquisition hardware. Prerequisite Course(s): Prerequisites: EENG 270 and MENG 211. Classroom Hours - Laboratory and/or Studio Hours – Course Credits: 3-1-4
