Bioinstrumentation

Course Description

Course information provided by the 2019-2020 Catalog.

Bioinstrumentation applications are emphasized in this laboratory-based course. Electronic instruments from sensor to computer are considered. Static and dynamic characteristics of components and systems are examined theoretically and empirically. General analog and digital signal condition circuits are designed, constructed, and tested. A variety of biological applications of instrumentation are discussed.  Without capstone design 3 credits; with capstone design 4 credits.  Priority given to students taking capstone design.

Prerequisites/Corequisites Prerequisite: MATH 2940, introductory computing, two semesters of physics including electromagnetism, statistics, or permission of instructor.
