This module aims to introduce you to basic electrical and electronic principles in the context of Biomedical engineering instrumentation. You will explore the laws and theorems relative to DC / AC electrical and electronic systems in the classroom, but you will also have the opportunity to relate this to physical systems by undertaking practical experiments in the laboratory. Within these laboratory sessions, you will learn to use electrical measuring instruments, and be introduced to electrical machines such as transformers, generators, and motors. Biomedical Instrumentation will be considered including the types of sensors for both medical practice and the diagnostic laboratory. This module teaches and assesses C1, C2, C5, C9 and C12, and develops C3, C10, C14 and C15 of the AHEP4 for CEng. The GAME attributes covered are resilience and problem solver.
