Course Objectives: 

 

1. Introduction of basic concepts needed for analysis and design of biomedical instruments

2. To develop an understanding for the generation of biological signals in human body

3. To develop basic skills for modeling, sensing and processing of biological signals, and to review basic methods and instrumentation used in medical environment

4. Electrical safety in clinical environment.
 

Course Description: 

 

Application of electronics engineering techniques to analysis and instrumentation in biological/medical sciences, physiological systems of the human body, modeling of biological systems, measurement of bioelectrical signals, pressure, flow, volume, and temperature on living systems; biomedical transducers, instrumentation electronics, electrical safety. Recent developments in biomedical instrumentation.
 

Participation/Assignments: 

 

1. As part of in-class participation each student will do at least two short (10 minutes max) minute presentations on a topic assigned by the instructor. Check Sensors in Biomedical Applications for your first round! IMPORTANT GUIDELINES

2. Groups of a minimum of two to three students will build a biomedical device to measure a biological signal (such as, EKG, EEG) of their choice and will present their results with a demonstration and in laboratory report format. As a preparation groups need to do a comprehensive Analog Noise Analysis using 3 different OPAMPs.

3. Groups of a minimum of two to three students shall identify an unmet clinical/medical need and develop an innovative technical solution. SEE Group Project below.
4. An in depth review on a special topic and instrumentation not covered in class. The results will be presented orally in class and in writing in report format. SEE Term project below.

Term project:

An in depth review on a special topic and instrumentation not covered in class including a 15-20 minute in-class oral presentation on the last two weeks of classes (7,5 %) and an accompanying 10 page word-processed report submitted the day of oral presentation (7,5 %)  Principles, instrumentation, and devices on the market (technical data, specifications, approximate retail prices, competing companies and/or products) are to be covered.

Reports without (i) identification of its author, (ii) a reference list, and (iii) numerous spelling errors (please run spell-check) lead to "reduced" grades. Mot-a-mot copied (i.e., copy/paste) reports are not favored! For information on how to write an effective report and make an effective presentation consult "Scientific and Technical Writing" lectures notes.

Topics may be found in the following online books
Biomedical Technology and Devices Handbook
Tissue Engineering and Artificial Organs
 Biomedical Engineering Fundamentals, 3rd ed.
