ENGINEERING
BMET-112 Electro-Mechanical-Fluidic Devices I
3 Credits
The student, upon successful completion of this course, will be able to utilize the basic concepts to investigate the
physics of and the interrelation between electrical, mechanical, fluidic and optical systems. The student will know the
basic components of each system, where in the overall system they occur and what their function is toward the correct
operation of the system. Prerequisite: ELEC-107 and PHYS-101. (2 hours lecture, 3 hours lab)
BMET-211 Biomedical Instrumentation I
5 Credits
The student will be able to classify biomedical instruments into areas such as support, laboratory, diagnostic, patient
monitoring, therapeutic, x-ray, etc. Biomedical transducers will be introduced and students will make application of the
terms of sensitivity, resolution, recordability, readability, linearity and accuracy in order to effect correct usage.
Prerequisite: BMET-112, BIOL-106 and ELEC-117. Co-requisite: ELEC-213. (4 hours lecture, 3 hours lab)
BMET-212 Biomedical Instrumentation II
5 Credits
In this theoretical-practical course, the student will utilize electronic and mechanical principles for maintenance and
repair of biomedical equipment (electro-mechanical, clinical lab, ultrasonics, patient monitoring, x-ray and radiation).
Students will be in a simulated clinical setting where they will perform on-site repairs and preventative maintenance.
Prerequisite: BMET-211. (4 hours lecture, 3 hours lab)
