Introduction
Electrical Engineering: Electrical engineering deals with design and application of a wide range of components, devices, and systems from microchips to power generators. Electrical engineers are involved with projects by designing circuits. Then, through feasible testing, and implementation, electrical engineers will have made a project that would influence the daily world. Electrical engineers typically require extensive knowledge of computer programming and circuitry, as well as math and physics.
Biomedical Engineering: Biomedical engineering is the application of engineering design for healthcare purposes. Biomedical engineers work on devices that advance medicine through diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment. Some examples include artificial organs, surgical robots, and advanced prosthetics. Biomedical engineering requires a strong background in math and science, including physics, biology, and chemistry. Biomedical engineers work in a variety of industries, from research in universities to private companies.

(When a switch is flipped downward toward the negative pole, it means no symptom. When flipped upward toward positive pole, means there is a symptom. Thus, the green light should be on in the circuit below.)

DESIGN PROCESS - Circuit Lab:
Define the problem: Create a circuit that evaluates the users symptoms and signals an LED light or contacts emergency services corresponding to the severity.
Generate alternative solutions: We first tried using XNOR and other types of logic gates but then we used AND gates and digital NOT to make an algorithm that would determine whether the conditions required a green, yellow, or red LED or an alarm.
Evaluate and select a solution: We used AND logic gates to determine which action was required by the symptoms. For example, for the yellow LED we made a 3 input AND gate that took in 2 digital NOT inputs and one positive inputs.
Detail the design: We made an alarm circuit and a timer that would ensure the symptoms were not temporary. We designed the circuit to report a green light if no symptoms are present, yellow if one is present, red if two are present and the alarm will signal if all three symptoms are present.
Defend the design: This design is functional because when specific inputs are entered the correct output is received.
Manufacture and test: We used the simulate interface to check if the charge was present when certain conditions corresponded with its LED.
Evaluate the performance: The circuit works properly and the LEDs lit up accordingly based on conditions.
Prepare the final design report: By using AND logic gates and switches to act as conditions we made a circuit that would give the correct response based on symptoms presented.
