Teaching

This core design course will cover fundamentals of biomedical sensors and instrumentation, FDA regulations, designing with electronics, biopotentials and ECG amplifier design, recording from heart, muscle, brain, etc., diagnostic and therapeutic devices (including pacemakers and defibrillators), applications in prosthetics and rehabilitation, and safety. The course includes extensive laboratory work involving circuits, electronics, sensor design and interface, and building complete biomedical instrumentation. The students will also carry out design challenge projects, individually or in teams (examples include "smart cane for blind", "computer interface for quadriplegic", etc.).

This core design course will explore the fundamentals of molecular and cellular measurements, related technologies and their applications in scientific research. The course will also include a guided lab.
