Certificate in Biomedical Technology Innovation and Entrepreneurship - Biomedical Instrumentation, Data Acquisition and Analysis ECED 5210   Biomedical Instrumentation, Data Acquisition and Analysis
CREDIT HOURS: 3
This hands-on course is an introduction to computer-based acquisition and analysis of physiological signals relevant to biomedical engineering. In an integrated series of lectures and laboratory projects, students will construct and use instrumentation systems to acquire signals of physiological importance (e.g. temperature, electrophysiological signals, pressure, force, flow and sound). Issues such as filtering, sensor properties, sampling, aliasing, and frequency analysis will be explored. The first part of the course is structured as a hands-on workshop introducing students to the National Instruments Labview programming language and Labview is used throughout the course to explore signal acquisition and processing topics. Students are expected to complete a final project in which they develop and characterize a biomedical instrument.
