Biomedical Circuits and Signals

Catalog description

Designed for BE students with 60+ credit hours earned or in progress, this course explores fundamental knowledge of biological signals and the circuitry and software used to acquire, analyze, and process these circuits and signals. Reviews basic properties of signals and systems, develops an in-depth knowledge of electronic circuit design, exposes students to problem-oriented design with special emphasis on problems particular to biomedical applications, and integrates the physiological concepts with electronic design to prepare the students for solving problems in any area of biomedical engineering. MATLAB will be used for signal processing. Students will develop skills to analyze signals, and design circuits for biomedical applications.Designed for BE juniors.
