Presents the analytical tools used to model signals and linear systems. BME examples include multicompartment modeling of drug delivery, modeling of dynamic biomechanical systems and electrical circuit models of excitable cells. Topics: terminology for signals and systems, convolution, continuous time Fourier transforms, electrical circuits with applications to bioinstrumentation and biosystems modeling and applications of linear system theory. Prerequisite: APMA 2130, CS 1110, and PHYS 1425 or instructor permission.

A year-long research project in biomedical engineering conducted in consultation with a department faculty advisor; usually related to ongoing faculty research. Includes the design, execution, and analysis of experimental laboratory work and computational or theoretical computer analysis of a problem. Requires a comprehensive report of the results. Prerequisite: third- or fourth-year standing, and instructor permission.
