Graduate Courses

• BME Special Topics: Design of Biomedical Sensors, Devices and Measurement Systems (syllabus)
  • Course Objectives:   The course offers a holistic education in biomedical instrumentation design, covering theoretical and practical aspects. Topics range from design considerations and sensor selection to microcontroller-based systems and signal processing. Students will learn the foundational theories and engage in hands-on experiences, such as analog circuit design and digital signal processing. The program culminates in a capstone project, requiring students to build and critically evaluate a complete biomedical instrument.
  • Last Offered: Fall 2022 (The next course will be offered in Spring 2024)

Undergraduate Courses

• Senior Design Projects

Educational Outreach

• 3D Printed Prosthetic Hand:  The Human Factors Engineering Laboratory, led by Principal Investigator Dr. Insoo Kim at UConn Health, collaborated with TMSCA to create a 6-week course curriculum. This course targets grade 6-8 students in Hartford County, Connecticut, with an estimated class size ranging from 24 to 30 students. The curriculum focuses on the application of 3D-printed prosthetic hands and integrates close-coupled wearable sensors to monitor both the functional movements of the prosthetic hands and the electrophysiological signals of the users. Currently, the PI and Farmington Public School (FPS) made an agreement to offer the course to FPS students during the summer in upcoming years.
