Abstract

Teaching Biomedical Instrumentation Systems has been a difficult task due to the high cost of equipment. This has been most acute for undergraduate programs. With the introduction of computers and object-oriented programming in teaching laboratories it is now possible to simulate and emulate these systems easily and economically. The authors describe an undergraduate engineering course in biomedical instrumentation where object-oriented programming is used. The course explains, develops, simulates, and emulates basic biomedical instrumentation systems such as Biopotential Amplifiers, Cardiovascular Measurement Systems, and Respiratory Measurement Systems
