Biomedical Electronic Instrument Design

3 Hours

Explore the application of electrical engineering principles in the design of electronic instrumentation at the circuit-board level for the measurement of pressure, temperature, flow, and impedance. Examine the study of light intensity, bioelectric potentials, and stimulation devices such as pacemakers and defibrillators. Focus on design considerations specific to electro-medical environments, safety and efficacy, and public policy issues. Electrical and Computer Engineering 374K and Electrical Engineering 374K may not both be counted. Three lecture hours a week for one semester.
