Undergraduate Prerequisites: EK307 ; Undergraduate Corequisites: BE403 - This is a laboratory course designed to develop basic instrumentation and analysis skills for physiological and biological measurements. Lecture periods will focus on introducing fundamental concepts and applications related to the design and use of systems for quantitative observation of biological processes in living systems. Laboratory assignments will build on these concepts and provide experience with bringing them into practice using laboratory-grade instrumentation and hardware. The course includes five lab modules, each preceded by introductory lectures. In addition to the labs, this course will also involve a multi-week group project that will provide an opportunity to apply the techniques introduced through this course, as well as any techniques learned from previous courses. Issues related to bioethics, equity, and privacy in the construction and use of biomedical devices will be integrated throughout the course.
