Completion parts must belong to the same implementation
Learning outcomes
Students will become familiar with electronic design of multiple simple medical instruments, with special focus on biopotential amplifiers. Students are able to design, construct and evaluate a biopotential amplifier as well as explain number of different factors effecting such measurements e.g. amplifiers, filters, noise, patient safety and electrode-tissue interface. Students will enhance their practical knowledge of making block diagrams, schematics, PCBs and reading component data-sheets.

| 6. | Examples of electronics design of other biomedical devices. | Examples of electronics design of other biomedical devices. |
Evaluation criteria for the course
The final grade of the course is determined based on the assessment of all part of the course. The weighting factor of each part is given at the beginning of the course. Grades 1-2: Learning outcomes have been achieved. Satisfactory command in core content of the course. Grades 3-4: Some learning outcomes have been exceeded qualitatively or quantitatively. Good command in core content and complementary knowledge of the course. Good or very good marks from all parts of the course. Grade 5: Most of the learning outcomes have been exceeded. Deep command in the whole content of the course. Almost maximum performance in all parts of the course.
