| BME362/ELE562 Biomedical Instrumentation Design (3 crs.) Fundamentals of diagnostic and therapeutic devices, engineering standards, and regulations for medical devices; basic electronics, safety, noise rejection, and biomedical signal processing; design of embedded and handheld systems. (Lec. 3); Pre: (BME 360 and BME 361) or permission of instructor. . History: This course has gone through several revisions. It began as the 4-credit ELE 489 and later became the 3-credit BME 462 plus the 1-credit BME 463 lab. The lab was centered around the design and construction of the PHENOM (Personal Heart Function Monitor), which was a microprocessor-based portable device for monitoring electrocardiogram (ECG) and photoplethysmogram (PPG). In the 2013 BME curriculum, the BME 463 lab was removed. The lab contents were shifted to BME 361 biomeasurement lab and BME 484/485 capstone design. New materials added to BME 462 included biocompatibility, biomaterials, protein-surface interactions, bio-nanotechnology, microarrays and microfluidic systems. Finally, in 2016, the biomaterials contents were removed because of the new BME 466 Biomaterials course. BME 462 was moved to the junior year and became BME 362. A new lab BME 363 was added. The BME 360/361 Biomeasurement and lab plus the BME 362/363 Biomedical Instrumentation Design have become a sequence that helps developing hands-on design skills in embedded microprocessors, handheld devices, C++ programming, and Java programming of Android apps.
