• MET E 5230: Bio Devices & Sensors

  3.00 Credits

  University of Utah

  
  This course is designed to teach students about engineering and applications of materials in the biomedical applications with an emphasis on devices and sensors. Students will gain an understanding of the entire life cycle of materials starting form the extraction of materials to engineering devices, to end-of-life disposal. Students will gain hands on experience in device fabrications methods and will be required to build and demonstrate a biomedical device as part of the course. Students will use Arduino boards and python for sensor instrumentation and data acquisition. At the end of the course, students will understand how to design a biomedical device/sensor with the appropriate materials and fabrication methods.
