BMET 212 Biomedical Instrumentation II
In this theoretical-practical course, students will utilize electronic and mechanical principles for maintenance and repair of biomedical equipment (electro-mechanical, clinical lab, ultrasonics, patient monitoring, x-ray, and radiation). Students will be in a simulated clinical setting where they will perform on-site repairs and preventative maintenance.
Hours Weekly
4 hours lecture, 3 hours lab weekly
