What is Biomedical Engineering?

Biomedical Engineering is the use of engineering to increase the quality and length of life. This type of engineering is a part of the medical process from diagnosis to treatment and recovery.

What is Electrical Engineering?

Electrical Engineering is designing, developing, testing, and overseeing electrical systems. Electrical engineers apply the logic of electric systems to both large and small scale systems.

Larry the Life Saver

For Larry, the goal was to create a medicine delivery system using a monitoring circuit. The system would dispense aspirin to heart attack and stroke patients when there were no risks detected; however, if risks were detected, the circuit would operate certain functions. If one risk was detected, a yellow light would turn on and if there were two detected, a red light would turn on. And if all three risks were detected, an alarm would go off. In the circuit, we would use different switches as our risks.

Challenge/ Extra Credit

For the extra credit project, the challenge was to build a college acceptance circuit, using AND and OR gates. The goal for the design was to decide based off on certain inputs whether a green light would go on. The college circuit would decide if you were "accepted" if you had either SAT or ACT and either physical geology or psychology. We were able to design, wire, and complete the project using binary algebra, truth tables, equations, and schematics. Overall the project wasn't too difficult, but it did come with its own challenges. It helped us get a better understanding to wiring for Larry the Life Saver.

Logic/ Design

For the final project. We have to design a circuit that can have exclusive and different respond to each pattern of input. The greatest difficulty is that we have four different output, which have to respond differently to the different input pattern. We designed different circuits for each circumstances separately, then combined and simplified the circuits. Before running it on the simulator, it's essential to do a dry-run based on truth table.

Simulating


Building

Building the system was very difficult. It took many tries and hours to attempt to figure it out.
