This course aims to introduce the basics of digital
design and embedded control systems. Students will have a sound knowledge on:
design methods and the implementation of basic digital systems,
microcontrollers, microcontroller architecture, assembly programming, and
microcotroller peripherals. Student will have hands-on exercises in Lab.
Projects related to microcontroller programming and interfacing. Introduction
to computer systems, Boolean algebra, introduction to microcontroller,
programming microcontroller using C, using sensors and other peripherals in
microcontroler. MSP430 Instruction set, Addressing modes. Interrupt signals and
routines. Interface circuits. Analog and Digital Peripherals programming:
Digital I/Os, Timers, ADC and Communication Peripherals, Low power modes of
operation

The course will prepare the student to identify surgical instruments, distinguish
their category, know their use, and name them. This course will give emphasis
on the knowledge and recognition of medical instruments, as well as
instrumentation and how they will help physicians. The course will cover
topics, such as the identification of medical instruments, their categories,
use, and inspection. There will be emphasizes on testing their quality, how
they are set up, sealed, other instruments like the robotic and laser
instruments, endoscopes, other complex instruments, how they are regulated.

Learning outcomes

1.      To identify basic surgical instruments by
category, name, and use;

2.      To demonstrate the different methods used to
test and inspect various types of surgical instrumentation.

3.      To describe the use of surgical
instrumentation.

4.      To understand how instrument quality
assurance testing are done.

5.      To demonstrate the proper procedures for
assembling instruments/procedure trays.

6.      To differentiate between various categories
of special instrumentation utilized in operating rooms.

7.      To demonstrate inspection and testing of
endoscopic and robotic instrumentation and how to select the appropriate
packaging material for instrumentation sets and medical equipment.

8.      To demonstrate how to check packaging materials
for defects, cleanliness, and function.

9.      To demonstrate how to sets in peel pouches,
sterile wraps, and rigid pans are packed.

This
course is designed for biomedical engineering undergraduate students. The
purpose of the course is to provide biomedical signal processing background on
technical aspects. Fundamentals of digital signal processing, signal
conditioning, frequency analysis, digital filtering methods, feature
extraction, classification and application on EEG – ECG signals are introduced
in detail. Students are provided with overviews of the major techniques that
engineers have used to explore in biomedical engineering level

This module acquaints students with
microorganisms and their activities. The aim of this course is to give
information about microbial structure, classification of microorganisms,
examples of beneficial and harmful microorganisms. Topics include microbial
cell structure, function, classification of microorganisms, metabolism, and the
role of microorganisms in disease, immunity, Infection and pathogenicity,
Isolation of a broad range of non-pathogenic bacteria from natural sources,
using selective and enrichment techniques, with microscopic, biochemical, and
molecular identification, and other selected applied areas of microbiology such
as environmental biotechnology, roles of microorganisms in wastewater
treatment, nutrient removal, energy generation by microbial cells, food
microbiology, microbial ecology will be covered
