Patient Monitoring: Biomedical Engineering and Electrical Engineering
Biomedical Engineering is a field that combines principles from biology, medicine, and engineering to develop technologies that improve healthcare and medical treatment. Their goal is to solve medical problems and enhance patient care by applying engineering solutions to biological systems.
Electrical Engineering is focused on studying and applying electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism. Electrical engineers design and develop electrical systems used in devices like smartphones, computers, power systems, and communication networks. Electrical engineering has applications in a wide variety of industries, such as telecommunications, robotics, aerospace, and automotive.
Summary:
This week, we explored electrical engineering, using logic gates as a base for our final project. In the Rock-Paper-Scissors activity, we used EveryCircuit to design and build circuits, learning key skills in simulation and construction. Despite some challenges, strong teamwork kept us moving forward.
