Change in BME 305Engineering Faculty
Document No. 05-06 August 5, 2006 To: Faculty of the College of Engineering From: Faculty of Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering Subject: Change in Existing Course Title and Description - BME 305 Bioinstrumentation Laboratory The Faculty of the Weldon School of
Biomedical Engineering has approved the change in title and description of the
course listed below. This action is now
submitted to the Engineering Faculty with recommendation for approval. From: BME 305 Bioinstrumentation Laboratory Sem. 1.
Class 1, Lab 3, cr.2. Prerequisites: PHYS 241, MA 266, or equivalents Co-requisites:
BME 301 Course Description: Introduction
of laboratory instruments used to measure physiological events. Stimulation and
conduction of electric signals within the mammalian nervous system and other
excitable tissues are demonstrated. Fundamental circuit elements and concepts
include resistance, capacitance, inductance, op-amps, impedance, voltage,
current, power, and frequency. Integrative design project addresses
instrumentation amplifiers and filtering for obtaining an ECG, emphasizing the
practical aspects of quantitative physiological measurements. To: BME 305 Bioinstrumentation Circuit and Measurement
Principles Sem. 1. Class 1, Lab 3, cr.2. Prerequisites: PHYS 241, MA 266, or equivalents Co-requisites:
BME 301 Course
Description: Introduction
of laboratory instruments used to measure physiological events. Stimulation and
conduction of electric signals within the mammalian nervous system and other
excitable tissues are demonstrated. Fundamental circuit elements and concepts
include resistance, capacitance, inductance, op-amps, impedance, voltage,
current, power, and frequency. Fundamental analog measurement concepts include
adequate bandwidth and amplitude and phase linearity. An integrative two-week design project
addresses the practical aspects of quantitative physiological measurements. Reasons: The
revised course title is more descriptive of the subject matter taught in the
course. The course description was
modified to more accurately describe the culminating two-week design project
and specify the measurement principles taught in the course. Upon initial implementation of this course,
the ECG design project became Lab 13 and the subject of the two-week design
project in Labs 14 and 15 changes from semester to semester. Requested
