Biomedical Instrumentation and Systems (BME312)

Synopsis

The aim of this course is to teach students the principles, applications and design of the medical instruments most commonly used in the health care industry. Quantitative methods of analysis are developed including simplifying assumptions to make the students understand and design an instrumentation system for diagnostic and therapeutic medical applications.

Level: 3
Credit Units: 5
Presentation Pattern: EVERY JULY

Topics
