Objectives of the Course

This course is intended to prepare students for their professional engineering life in this field after school by providing knowledge and skills on modern biomedical instrumentation techniques by theoretical and project-based studies besides the ethical and regulatory issues related to the bioinstrumentation and safety.

Course Content

Both theoretical and experimental project-based study involves (but not limited to) the following up-to-date topics: Biopotentials, biomedical signal processing, biomedical image processing, principles of modern biomedical devices, biomedical instrumentation techniques, ethical and regulatory issues and safety.
