Credit: 1.5 course
units
Required course (Junior year)
Catalog Description:
Fourth semester of a two year sequence designed to integrate real
world experiences into various Bioengineering and Bioengineering Science
courses. Laboratory emphasizing biotransport
and biomedical instrumentation.
Prerequisites:
Prerequisite(s): BE 301 Corequisite(s): BE 350
Textbook(s) and/or Other Required Materials:
Laboratory handouts and assigned readings on Blackboard.
Course Objectives:
This course is a requirement for bioengineering majors. The goal
of the course is to integrate real world experiences into various
Bioengineering and Bioengineering Science courses.The
course is based on group work and includes an extensive, open-ended
project with group oral presentation.
Topics Covered:
- Signal analysis
and data acquisition: use of FFT, digital and analog filters,
sampling theorem and aliasing
- Experiments:
- Flow
measurement by thermodilution;
- ECG and pulse
wave velocity
- Determining vibrational spectra of cantilever beam
- Design and
construction of lowpass Butterworth filter
- Compartmental
analysis
- Pressure-flow
relations in a tube
- Steady flow
through a symmetric sacular aneurysm model
- Measurement of taylor
diffusion during slow laminar flow in a tube
