BEN 503 - Advanced Instrumentation Design

This project based course will focus on the rational design of instrumentation for the observation and quantification of specific phenomena in complex and biological systems. A range of widely used clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic techniques will be reviewed through study of literature. Individual student projects form the basis for class discussion where theory, design, component specification and assessment, of capabilities and limitations, are explored. Sensitivity analysis will be employed to identify design weaknesses and fundamental design limitations. Detailed and fully specified instrumental designs will be produced and their feasibility assessed.
