Syllabus
Attendance and Conduct in Class:

Students are expected to attend and participate in class. Attendance will not be taken, but
a portion of your grade will be based on participation, and you cant participate if youre
not there! It is the students responsibility to get notes and handouts for any missed class.
For excused absences (illness, professional travel, etc.) please notify Dr. Li
(wenli@egr.msu.edu) before class.

Grading:

30% 2 Exams
10% Homework
5% Participation
25% Lab Assignments
30% Project

Tentative dates for the midterm exams are shown on the Course
Schedule. This course has a final project but no final exam. 3-4
homework assignments will be given between each exam, typically
due a week after assigned.

Other Policies:

Cheating in any form will not be tolerated! This includes copying homework, copying labs,
cheating on exams, or any other form of unethical behavior. Direct copying of homework
will result in a zero-point score for all people involved.
Homework must be turned in at the beginning of class on the date it is due. No late

homework will be accepted.

Lab check offs and reports must be completed by their due data. Extensions for extreme
situations should be arranged with the instructor.
Makeup exams will only be allowed for excused absences and only when the instructor is
informed before the exam.
2014, Prof. Wen Li

ECE 445: Biomedical Instrumentation

Intro. p. 8

Syllabus
Lab Assignments:

Students must complete several lab assignments covering physiological


measurements and design and testing of instrumentation. Labs will typically
include a pre-lab portion, which must be completed before attending lab,
and an in-lab portion to be completed within the lab session. The lab will only
be open during the designated lab section times when a TA will be available, so
please come prepared or you will not have time to complete the lab.

Project

Teams (nominally of 3 students) will choose a biomedical instrument/application


to research, analyze and invent a product. Teams will study their selected topic,
gain an understanding of the relevant technology and what companies are
currently involved in that market. They will also research up and coming
technology and make an analysis of existing and near-future solutions. Students
will propose a new instrument to address a vacancy in the commercial market.
Projects will be summarized into a written report and an illustrated presentation
to be delivered to the class. Projects will be graded as follows:
50% Project Quality
25% Report
25% Presentation

Expectations
What can you expect from the course
introduction to basic elements of biomedical instrumentation
exposure to new material on important topic
knowledge & training in field with good job potential
e.g., Texas Instruments new Medical Technology division

chance to engage in participation-heavy course


but
some lecture notes a bit unpolished {discuss posting of lecture notes}
labs may have some rough edges

please be patient and point out any problems you see & I will try to
keep the workload comfortable

Homework 1

Due: Monday September 8


1.Find internet resources for BME news: Search the web to find at least 3 sources for
news/reports about biomedical instruments. Look for sites that cover both technical
issues as well as business issues (market analysis, company activity reports, etc.).
Please avoid company-specific sites. List the sources and URLs that you find.
2.Summarize BME news report: Locate a technical news article related to biomedical
instruments (from an independent news source, not a company data sheet). Read
the article and write a brief (1 paragraph, ~1/2 page) summary of the article. List
the source (e.g. URL) after/within your summary.
3.Find more sources related to your report summary: Search the web for other
information related to the topic of the article you summarized in part 2. List these
resources (thats all, just list the sources).
4.Identify your lab partner
Note: to get started you might want to check out
http://www.spectrum.ieee.org/Bioengineering but dont limit yourself to this site.
