Università Roma Tre

This course will use problem-based learning to introduce students to the recent advances in biomedical engineering, with a specific emphasis on the design of biomedical devices and systems in the diagnostic area. Students will be exposed to the theory associated with the acquisition and recording of biomedical signals through dedicated circuits; use of multimeters, oscilloscopes, spectrum analysers; sensing and transduction; filtering, conditioning, and amplification stages. Students will then work in small groups and use electronics testing board to design simple electrical circuits which are typical for medical devices in practice. Using theoretical explanation and practical realisation of the students will be familiar with the proposal and feasibly validate solutions to real-world biomedical engineering problems with clinical and diagnostic relevance.
