Introduction to Medical Devices and Biological Instruments
Description
This course builds on the foundation in measurement techniques by developing the students' understanding of electrophysiological sensing systems and biosensors used within the medical and biological fields. This course applies the classical knowledge of electronic circuits and systems techniques to the development of medical devices and biological instruments. Background in electronic circuit design, basic knowledge of human physiology and body system, and basic knowledge of cellular and molecular biology are required before taking the course. Topics include the design of medical devices such as Electro-Encephalography (EEG) and Electromyography (EMG) devices used for disease diagnostics; biological instruments such as cell counter; handheld sensing devices used for various point-of-care (PoC) applications such as glucose measurement, blood pressure monitoring and early detection of cancer; and wearable sensing devices used for fitness applications. In the design of each medical device or biological instrument, students are also introduced the related theoretical and practical issues with a focus on needs assessment, creativity, and innovation as they seek to identify market opportunities. Prerequisites: cumulative GPA of 4.50 or better overall major EECS courses (without second digit "5"); LE/EECS 1021 3.00, LE/EECS 2210 3.00. Course Credit Exclusion: LE/EECS 4641 4.00
