In view of technology innovation with time the course shall be designed to focus on fundamental principles of operation on general types of equipment avoiding detailed descriptions of specific models. Since Biomedical Engineering is an interdisciplinary field, requiring good communication with health care personnel‟s as well the course provides applications on each type of equipment. Having completed this course ,the students will be able to cover working principle, building blocks of circuit involved in each equipment & systems added with the measurement, analysis of bio-potentials, biomedical transducer characteristics , electrical safety, applications of advanced integrated circuits, operational amplifiers for signal processing & computer interfacing & signal analysis for display on the computer.
