Biomedical instrumentation by Guido Avanzolini, Elisa Magosso;
Biomedical Instrumentation. Design and applications, by John Webster.
Learning Objectives
The course aims to introduce students to the main technologies
bioengineering to support the implementation and use of Biomeical
Instrumentation.
Analog electronics; Digital systems electronics;
Basic Programming;
Prerequisites
Analog electronics; Digital systems electronics;
Basic Programming;
Teaching Methods
The course will be conducted mainly using lecture slides and classroom
exercises.
Type of Assessment
The verification of learning of the skills acquired by the student during
the course
will focus on investigating:
- the ability to analyze the engineering aspects of instruments for
acquiring and monitoring biomedical signals;
- the ability to perform a literature search on the state of the art
related to the specific problem under study;
- the ability to analyze and implement an acquisition chain;
- Develop a critical spirit such that they can deal with a
wide range of problems in the head of instrumentation in the biomedical
field
