Biomedical Instrumentation Design

Catalog description

This course covers engineering aspects of detection, acquisition and processing of signals from human body. Microcontrollers are used for common biomedical instrumentation design and implementation. The analog and digital electronics, analog to digital and digital to analog conversion, and interfacing with computers via microcontrollers are emphasized. The course is aimed primarily to graduate students specializing in interdisciplinary engineering. Recommended prerequisites: Circuits and Electronics; Analog and Digital Signal Processing; and Programming in C. Typically offered Fall Spring Summer. Course Learning Outcomes 1. Analyze and design bioinstruments using microcontrollers. 2. Understand the origin of biosignals from various sources. 3. Acquire biological signals for analysis with microcontrollers or computers. 4. Understand biosensor and electrode design and apply them for signal acquisition. View Class Schedule
