Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2022-2023.

This class will provide students with the skills needed for the design and fabrication of biomedical and bioanalytical instrumentation. In lecture cover analog and digital electronics, optoelectronics and programming required for microprocessor use (C/C++). The level of electronics covered is equivalent to AEP 3610 (level of Horowitz and Hill) with the addition of exposure to schematic and printed circuit board layout using (CAD) software. Emphasis is on designing and building analog circuitry for sensors (electrochemical, flow, pressure), photodetectors and other measuring devices, analog to digital conversion and interfacing. Basic optics and opto-electronics is covered with a focus on areas relevant to biomedical imaging and bioanalytical device design. Lectures will be coordinated with lab exercises to provide experience with the material being covered in lecture. Lab exercises include hands-on building of circuits and optical set-ups, and exposure to schematic capture/PCB layout software (Eagle CAD) as well as SPICE simulation software. This course serves as an introduction to the array of skills needed by biomedical engineers who chose to focus on instrument design and imaging.
