Biomedical Devices Design Laboratory: Course Description
In the 'Biomedical Devices Design' OpenCourseWare, graduate students can learn about the theory and practice of electromechanical instrument applications used to design biomedical devices. Students can learn how to apply their engineering skills to design blood glucose meters, surgical robots and other portable medical products. The OpenCourseWare even recounts an MIT lab's creation of interactive talking balloons, complete with a video. Some of the course's lecture topics include analog signal conditioning, op amp circuits, power supplies and sensor interface circuits. Students can learn about programming and using microprocessors and other highly accurate technologies. The free course also describes lab exercises that teach students about printed circuit board (PCB) layout, planning and budgeting for large projects, design of printed circuit boards and component selection. The course was taught by MIT professor Dr. Hongshen May in 2007 as a lecture class followed by lab sessions.
This OpenCourseWare includes lecture notes, a short video and lab handouts. If you are interested in taking this free course, visit the biomedical device design course page.
