Biomedical IoT Devices Certification Courses

BME 631. Anatomy and Physiology for Biomedical Engineers I. 4 Credits.

This course is designed to develop the student in; 1) the practice of medical device and process innovation, 2) the engineering perspective of physiological concepts, 3) professionalism, and 4) ethical and regulatory issues. The course uses an established experiential learning model termed Innovation-Based learning. In innovation-based learning, students select an innovation project, form teams, and throughout the semester, learn to integrate physiological knowledge with ethical and regulatory constraints to produce an innovation in the biomedical engineering space while gaining professional skills. Student assessment of learning is accomplished through mastery of pillar concepts, generation of project tokens, and communicating the innovation to society. Prerequisite: Background knowledge in differential equations, physics of electric and magnetic fields, introductory chemistry, or by instructor approval. F.

BME 450. Biomedical Instrumentation (Medical IoT Innovation I). 3 Credits.

The goal of this course is to introduce students to engineering principles of biomedical devices. The particular emphasis is on electrical devices but an introduction to biomedical imaging modalities, biomechanics and biomaterials is also provided. The course focuses on both theoretical and practical aspects of biomedical instruments. The course includes a special emphasis on campus laboratory activities. There is also a strong research component to the course expecting the students to produce a written report at the end and present their results to the class. A student with a strong background in physics, math and also programming will be able to benefit from this course. Familiarity with electrical circuits is an asset. Prerequisite: EE 314 and EE 321. S.
