Bioinstrumentation and Experimental Design.

Catalog description

Introduction to engineering aspects of the detection, acquisition, processing, and display of signals from living systems; Experimental techniques for measurement of biomedical quantities such as biopotentials, force, pressure, and temperature are discussed. The course introduces statistical analysis including confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, analysis of variance, and linear regression as well as errors in measurement. Use of instruments in the laboratory; a measurement project. Corequisites: BENG 124 or ENGR 121 . Prerequisites: MATH 057 ; ECPE 041 with a “C-” or better.
