• Analyze, specify, and design a biomedical instrumentation system for a specific task (1, 2)
• Demonstrate a working knowledge of transducers, operational amplifiers, and electrodes associated with a biomedical instrumentation system. (1)
• Demonstrate the skills to correctly implement the chosen instrumentation design and any necessary algorithms or procedures in PSPICE or MATLAB, while functioning as part of an engineering team. (1, 2, 6, 7)
• Be able to define the transfer function and perform elementary circuit analysis in the frequency domain for the purposes of filter design and analysis. (1)
• Explore a particular bioinstrumentation topic, prepare a written report of the findings, and present the findings to the class. (3, 7)

Engineering programs in the United States are accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). All engineering students in such accredited programs (including all engineering majors at Oakland University) must demonstrate, before graduation, that they have achieved the following  program outcomes:

• an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics
• an ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors
• an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences
• an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgements, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts
• an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create
• a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives
• an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions
• an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies

You are free to append additional pages, but please ensure that your name appears on every page and your assignment is stapled. Please note, a stapler will not be provided. Unless otherwise  stated, homework assignments  are due every week.

Homework submitted after the key has been posted will not be accepted.

Exams: There will be two midterm exams scheduled for TBA and TBA. The final exam will be held on TBA.

Excused Absence policy: Any absence where a homework, lab, or exam is missed is to be reported to the course instructor with reason as soon as the absence occurs or is known to occur sometime in the future. The instructor will use OU policies and any supplied  supporting documentation to determine if the absence is excused. If the absence is deemed excused, the instructor will work with the student to rectify the situation using due date extensions, make-ups, etc. Lab instructors are not allowed to make decisions concerning absences.

To pass the course a student must earn a 70% in the laboratory. A student who does not meet this mark will receive a 0.0 in the course. The final grade will be based on the following weights:
