Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2023-2024.

This class provides students with the basic skills needed to design and fabricate biomedical and bioanalytical instrumentation. Lectures cover analog and digital electronics, microcontrollers, microcontroller interfacing and firmware programming (in C). Circuit simulation (using CircuitLab) is covered as is an instruction to schematic capture and printed circuit board layout software (Eagle). Emphasis is on designing and building analog circuitry for sensors, analog to digital conversion and microcontroller/device and microcontroller/PC interfacing. Lab exercises involve the design and construction of a number of biomedically related circuits. This course serves as an introduction to the skills needed by biomedical engineers who chose to focus on instrument design and imaging.

When Offered Fall.
