SY DE 444: Biomedical Engineering: Human Function and its
Measurement
This course develops an understanding of the fundamental concepts of
biomedical
engineering through the review of the basic functioning aspects of several
major physiological systems, through the analysis of mathematical models
used to represent the systems and through the study of techniques used
to measure pertinent parameters of these systems. In addition, a number
of current clinically used medical imaging techniques are covered. The
major physiological systems covered include the neuromuscular,
cardiovascular
and respiratory systems. Imaging techniques analyzed include X-ray, CT
Scan, ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging and positive emission
topography.
SY DE 352: Introduction to Control Systems
Classical and state space representations of control systems. Stability,
controllability, observability and sensitivity. Routh-Hurwitz and root-locus
methods. Frequency domain behaviour, Bode plots, Nyquist stability criteria.
Pole placement, PID, phase-lead and phase-lag controllers.
SY DE 292: Circuits, Instrumentation, and Measurements
Active and passive circuit elements, Kirchhoff's laws, mesh and nodal
circuit
analysis, principle of superposition; step response of first and second
order networks; sinusoidal steady state analysis using complex impedance
phasors; input-output relationships, transfer functions and frequency
response
of linear systems; operational amplifiers, operational amplifier circuits
using negative or positive feedback; diodes, operational amplifier circuits
using diodes; analog signal detection, conditioning and conversion systems;
transducers, difference and instrumentation amplifiers, active filters,
A/D and D/A conversion.
SY DE 192: Digital Systems
Digital technology, combinatorial logic, binary arithmetic, synchronous
sequential circuits, design methodology, algorithmic state machines,
microcomputer
interfacing.
