Biomedical Instrumentation and Device Fabrication

The course examines biomedical device design and instrumentation for treatment and diagnostics. Topics may include: bioinstrumentation, biomedical electronics; measurement techniques; sensors (bipotential electrodes, strain transducers, pressure and flow sensors, biochemical sensors) and transducers in signal measurement and conversion of physical (pressure), optical, thermal, and kinetic signals to electrical signals; and subsequent signal processing for decision support. Students will apply fundamental engineering principles in data acquisition and signal processing of data obtained through sensor acquisition, in a range of biomedical applications. A $75 lab fee will apply for any in-person sections (excluding Military Campus programs).
