189 a is 12 units (3-6-3) and is offered first term. 189 b is 9 units (0-9-0) and is offered third term | first, third terms

Students will learn to use an Arduino microcontroller to interface sensing and actuation hardware with the computer. Students will learn and practice engineering design principles through a set of projects where they design and implement biosensing systems. Examples include a pulse monitor, a pulse oximeter, and a real-time polymerase-chain-reaction incubator. Part b is a student initiated design project requiring instructor's permission for enrollment. Enrollment is limited based on laboratory capacity.
