Responsible Lecturer:
Detailed Course Description:
- Language: English
- Semester: 1, Fall
- ECTS: 3
Description: This course is aimed at providing a reasonable grounding in the foundations of electrical engineering. The topics covered in this course are an important prerequisite for other courses of the Master of Science in Biomedical Engineering program, e.g., Biomedical Instrumentation. At the end of the course, students are expected to be able to understand basic principles associated with the following topics: electric quantities (e.g., charge, current, voltage), circuit components (e.g., resistors, diodes, transistors, operational amplifiers), circuit analysis techniques, digital logic, digital circuits, and alternating voltages and currents. To learn about these basics, at the center of this course stands a biomedical application: the amplification, filtering and analysis of heart signals. The course is compulsory for students without a basic knowledge in electrical engineering.
