BE 3900 - Physiology and Bio-System Joint Laboratory

1 lecture hours 2 lab hours 2 credits
Course Description
The objective of this laboratory is to present students with real-world biomedical engineering problems that overlap the fields of bio-systems and physiology. Students will look at problems/laboratories from a joint perspective which will enable students to solve multi-disciplinary problems. This course is intended to advance a student’s understanding systems physiology and the materials introduced in BE 3100  and BE 3800 . The primary goal of the course is to enhance their ability to apply principles learned in physiology and biomedical signals and systems to predict and modify behavior of continuous-time physiological signals and systems. The laboratory is designed to prepare students for upper-level courses in biomedical digital signal processing, advance medical instrumentation, medical imaging, and feedback control systems. (prereq: MA 3610 , BE 2200 ) (coreq: BE 3100 , BE 3800 )
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
  • Apply principles of membrane potentials to write the electrical analog equation for calculating membrane voltage and use this equation to predict changes in membrane voltage when provided with changes to ion concentrations or conductances
  • Measure physiological parameters, analyze the results of those measurements, and correlate the resulting analysis to concepts found in biomedical signals and systems
  • Use physiological measurements to evaluate the relationship between the Fourier series and the Fourier transform
  • Analyze a physiological system for its stability, response to a stimulus, and predict the response
