Welcome to BME3013! At the end of this course, you will learn basic principles of analog circuitry relevant to biomedical instrumentation development. You will learn how to choose component values, read manufacturer specification sheets, design and construct electronic circuits to amplify and filter signals acquired from various sensors. Also, you will function and interact cooperatively and efficiently as a team member in completing laboratory exercises and presenting laboratory-acquired data in a written format.

Relationship of Course to ABET Program Outcomes

An ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data from living and non-living systems (ABET criterion 3b & BME program criteria).
An ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs (ABET criterion 3c).
An ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams (ABET criterion 3d).
An ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems (general criterion 3e).
An ability to communicate effectively (ABET criterion 3g).
An ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice (general criterion 3k).

Note: The BME Program Outcomes shown in parentheses above are a subset of the 13 BME educational outcomes described fully in the WPI Undergraduate Catalog. These outcomes map closely to the requirements of ABET (the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology). ABET fully accredits the BME Department at WPI.
