ACIT4730 Prosjekter i Medisinsk Instrumentering Course description

None

The student should have the following outcomes upon completing the course:;

Knowledge;

• have specialized knowledge to differentiate technologies used;for sensors and actuators in medical and health care;applications.;
• have an advanced technical understanding of the transduction mechanisms and sensory schemes.;
• have a good understanding;about building a sensor and actuator in specific cases involving medical and health care;applications.;

Skills

• can categorize sensors and actuators based on their;applications.;
• can calibrate optical and electrical spectra using multivariate;calibration.;
• can analyze;the performance of sensors and;actuators.;

;

General competence

• understands the role of sensors and actuators in medical;devices.;
• can explain and discus challenges related to sensors and actuators that are applied medical and health care applications to experts and non-experts;alike.;
• can design;a;system that is based on sensors and actuators with a;specific transduction;mechanism.

Lectures and practical semester exercises. The students work both individually and in groups. The groups normally comprise 3-4;students. The student will supplement the lectures and lab with their own reading.;

Individual assigments

Practical training;

Practical semester exercise.

The following coursework is compulsory and must be approved before the student can attend;the exam:

• Semester exercise in a group of 3-4 students. A report between 7500 - 15000;words. The total working load will be approx. 60 hours per student.;

Professor Sølve Selstø

The final grade will be based on:

1) An individual/group (2-5 students) project report on a chosen topic and practical assignment (7 500 - 15 000 words) (50% of the final grade)

2) An individual oral exam (50% of the final grade)

Both exams must be passed in order to pass the course.

The oral exam cannot be appealed.

New/postponed exam

In case of failed exam or legal absence, the student may apply for a new or postponed exam. New or postponed exams are offered within a reasonable time span following the regular exam. The student is responsible for applying for a new/postponed exam within the time limits set by OsloMet. The Regulations for new or postponed examinations are available in Regulations relating to studies and examinations at OsloMet.
