Engineering Devices 1
This course provides students with an introduction to medical device design through fundamentals of circuit design/analysis, signal processing, and instrumentation development from concept to market. Important concepts will include impulse responses of systems, op-amps, interference, and noise; the origin of biological signals and recording mechanisms; and design considerations including sensitivity, accuracy, and market potential. This course is designed to be an introduction to these tools and concepts to prepare students to engage deeply and mindfully with device design in their future courses
Topics
