Learning activities and teaching methods
Monological explanation (lecture, presentation,briefing), Dialogue metods(conversation,discussion,brainstorming), Self-study (text study, reading, problematic tasks, practical tasks, experiments, research, written assignments)
  • Preparation for exam - 40 hours per semester
  • Semestral paper - 24 hours per semester
  • Class attendance - 56 hours per semester
Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to introduce students to the design of electronic devices from power issues to programming circuits not only for measurement and control technology in biomedicine. The course is an overview of the measurement of physical quantities in biomedical applications and microelectronics and microcomputers for measurement and control technology.
Student is particularly familiar with the methods of measurement of non-electrical quantities, with these values transmitters. Students will be taught basic measurement methods to define, describe and explain the fundamental physical principles of a range of sensors and electronic instruments. Students learn to perform using these instruments measuring physical variables. Students will acquire basic programming of virtual measuring instruments using LabVIEW.
