This course is jointly taught by three professors namely, Prof. Shahrol, Prof. Uma and Prof. Aarya teaching respectively,
Biomechanics, Biphotonic and Biosensors. This course provides a comprehensive understanding of biomedical engineering principles,
with a focus on biomechanics, biphotonic and biosensors. The course emphasizes theoretical foundations along with hands-on
experimentation to bridge the gap between physics, biology, and medical applications. Students will be introduced to the concept
of biomechanics of human movement and how to apply the concept of physics to represent the movement. Then, students will be
introduced to the optical techniques along with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound, x-ray imaging, PET and other
latest technologies in wide use in medical applications. Students will be revised of the light properties and their interaction
with biological matter. Lastly, students will be experiencing the basic sensor making.
The purpose of this course is to provide students with a strong foundation in biomechanics, biphotonic, and biosensor, integrating
engineering principles with biomedical applications. It emphasizes sensor technology, bioelectronics, and biphotonic techniques
for medical diagnostics and healthcare innovations. Through theoretical learning and hands-on experiments, students will develop
skills in sensor design, calibration, and real-world biomedical applications, preparing them for careers in biomedical engineering
and medical device development.
