Course Summary
This course introduces the fundamental principles of electronics and bioinstrumentation used in biomedical applications. You will explore the design, development, and analysis of electronic systems and sensors for measuring physiological signals.
Through a structured learning sequence, you will first develop an understanding of sensor operation and signal acquisition, including the origin and nature of physiological signals. You will then apply circuit design and signal conditioning techniques, such as amplification and filtering, to improve measurement accuracy. Practical applications will focus on integrating microprocessors, biomedical sensors, and electronic circuits into diagnostic instruments.
Hands-on learning is embedded through experimental activities using breadboards, passive electronic components, and microprocessor-based systems. You will engage in guided laboratory exercises, supported by online resources, to design, implement, and test bioinstrumentation systems for real-world biomedical applications.
By the end of this course, you will be able to design, construct, and evaluate bioinstrumentation systems, applying engineering principles, problem-solving skills, and professional practices relevant to biomedical engineering.
