SN. Course Learning Outcomes

1 Student will be able to identify and describe the operation of transducers and sensors in biomedical applications
2 Student will be able to analyse where and how analog components are used
3 Student will be able to review the analog result into digital signal with the help of convertors for further its further processing
Student will be able to recognize the signals obtained from various leads and electrodes attached to the human body like ECG, EEG, EMG.
4
Student will be able to diagnose the correct output obtained from the subject.
 Student will be able to comprehend the signals which are obtained from various human body parts. Student will be able to apply knowledge to new
5
situations and provide innovative solutions to them

Pedagogy for Course Delivery :

SN. Pedagogy Methods

The class will be taught using theory and case based method. In addition to assigning project–based learning, early exposure to hands-on design
1 to enhance the motivation among the students. It incorporates designing of problems, analysis of solutions submitted by the students groups and
how learning objectives were achieved. Continuous evaluation of the students would be covered under quiz, viva etc.
