BIOENG 1310 - LINEAR SYSTEMS AND ELECTRONICS 1

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
Bioinstrumentation covers electronic circuit theory and the practical aspects of building electronic prototypes. The mathematics of complex exponentials and complex impedance are also covered. A series of projects are built by each student individually, using a system of student-owned electronics components and tools called the pittkit. The kit includes a special apparatus, the breadboard laboratory interface processor (blip) which each student constructs, and which acts as a logging voltmeter, a frequency meter, a logic analyzer, a waveform generator, and a pulse duration meter. The blip interfaces to any computer via a USB port, without requiring any special software to be installed on the computer. After completing the course, the student should be able to design and construct prototypes of useful, simple circuits, such as preamplifiers and signal conditioners for sensors, as well as use off-the-shelf modules to construct laboratory instrumentation. They should be able to describe applications to other linear systems such as those found in physiological systems with greater clarity from having worked with circuits.
