4.00 Credits
An introduction to computer-assisted technology used in the medical and health care industry. Design of communication network infrastructure related to accessing medical databases, visualizing medical techniques, and manipulation of histological medical data. Provides as introduction to wireless/wired LANs/WANs, computer-assisted surgical software, and hardware/software for medical image analysis.
-
4.00 Credits
An introduction to biometric recognition systems that utilize the physiological or behavioral characteristics of an individual for identification. In this course students will study the design of various biometric systems based on fingerprints, voice, face, hand geometry, palmprint, iris, retina, and other modalities. The performance of biometric systems and issues related to the security of these systems will be discussed. Multimodal biometric systems that use two or more of the above human characteristics will also be discussed.
-
4.00 Credits
This course introduces the student to an on-site learning experience at an operating biomedical equipment section of a health care facility. Supervision of the intern is shared by the working environment supervisor and a faculty advisor. Internist performance is evaluated at weekly seminars. Topics include: problem solving, use of proper interpersonal skills, interpreting work authorizations, identifying logistical support requirements, servicing biomedical instruments, evaluating operating cost, and professional development.

4.00 Credits
A study of the characteristics, analysis, and practical topologies of active filters. The state-variable and Sallen-Key topologies are emphasized. Various filter responses are studied including Butterworth, Chebyshev, Bessel, and Cauer (elliptic). Delay, sensitivity, frequency scaling, impedance scaling, determination of pole-zero locations, and transformations of transfer functions are covered. Filter synthesis by equating coefficients of applicable transfer functions is included. The design of filters using normalized tables is presented. An introduction to switched-capacitor and digital filters is also included. Laboratory investigations include proto-boarding, designing and analyzing selected practical active filters. P-Spice, Math-Cad, and computer-aided testing are utilized in conjunction with the laboratory exercises.
-
4.00 Credits
The fundamentals of specifications, standards, devices, circuits and systems used in audio are studied. Acoustics, power amplifiers, preamplifiers, frequency contouring circuits, signal processors, microphones, loudspeakers and sound reinforcement systems are covered. During the first half of the term, approximately six laboratory exercises are utilized to reinforce associated lecture topics. During the second half of the term, an audio design project is completed. Students are required to research, design, analyze, and implement the audio project. Computer based simulation software (such as PSpice) and a computer-aided-testing system are used to analyze several of the lab exercises and the audio project.
-
4.00 Credits
A study of radio frequency and optical-wavelength communications circuits and their applications. A variety of basic transmitter and receiver circuits are studied, including amplifiers, tuned oscillators, phase-locked loops, modulators and demodulators. Spectral analysis is introduced and the effects of noise in communications systems are investigated. Laboratory experiences demonstrate circuits and concepts discussed in the classroom.
