properties, in addition to recognizing its mutual
effect after amendment in conformity with new
changing inputs that must be considered.
The importance of signal processing is not only
about examining signals resulting or introducing
Course purpose used system by also signal processing is
important un the stage of system design.
This means that stating the properties of signals
related to a proposed system with specific
mathematical indication and using modem

This course introduces the fourth year students,
medical engineering a new field of study which
modeling and simulation bio physiological systems, the
student is successively introduced with the basic
concepts of modeling, its targets, types and methods of
simulation and method of
examining a physiological system in order to model
and simulation it. The student in this course will get
the knowledge of how to examine a biological system
to transform it into an actual model and the process of
analyzing and evaluation this model and the possibility
of stimulating some healthy and unhealthy biological
signals with a detailed and comprehensive study of
many biological/bio models which internationally known
and examined which enhances and deepens the
students' scientific research side. In this Course
Course purpose
purpose course the student is also introduced with
modem modeling methods especially the digital
modeling. The practical side includes introducing the
student with the use of programming language
MATLAB/SIMULINK and its application in the fields of
modeling and simulation where the students are taught
and trained to establish an integrated models through
the use of this language which enable the students of
obtaining the knowledge necessary to propose
a system for examination and to execute it through an
aiding programming environment which is specialized
in this field (MATLAB/SIMULINK). And then full
evaluation of this system which is transferable into a
model. This facilitates the scientific research for the
students of medical engineering in the field of modeling
and simulating biological systems including bio signals.

Bioinformatics:
Or computational biology, Is the use of the latest techniques ofapplied
mathematics, informatics, statistics, and computer science to solve
biological vitality problems.
It is the latest science of computer that concerned with the biological
information analysis using computer and statistical techniques.It is the
science that trying to use and develop databases and computer
algorithms to accelerate and strengthen the Biological Research.
It is a field of science in which Biology and Computer Science and IT
(Information technology) merged together in one scientific field.
Bioinformatics has three main sections:
• The development of new algorithms and statistical techniques to
help in collecting information from large collections of data.
• Analysis and explanation the different types of data (for example,
the analysis of sequences of amino acids).
• Develop and implement tools to help in effective management of
the different types of information.
Required Skills:
 Experience in working on one or more of custom software packages
to dealing with the biology of molecules,learning how to analyze the
biological data using this software.
 Learning operating systems (LINUX, UNIX) due to its strength and
availability of software tools and custom software for this purpose.
 Good knowledge of programming languages such as: Java, HTML,
C++
 Knowledge of database management systems and the best of them:
Oracle and SQL most commonly used to store huge amounts of
biological data to analyze and extract information from them.
