Senior design project ideas merging biomedical and electrical engineering

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion centers on senior design project ideas that merge biomedical engineering (BME) and electrical engineering (EE). The participant seeks projects that leverage their background in biology, chemistry, and signal processing, with a strong preference for projects focused on signal processing. The professor requires coding in LabView, while the participant is familiar with Java, Matlab, Maple, and some C++. The budget for the project is approximately $200, with potential external funding available.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of signal processing techniques
  • Familiarity with LabView programming
  • Basic knowledge of biomedical instrumentation
  • Experience with project budgeting and funding acquisition
NEXT STEPS
  • Research advanced signal processing methods applicable in biomedical contexts
  • Learn LabView programming for effective project implementation
  • Explore biomedical instrumentation design principles
  • Investigate funding opportunities for engineering projects
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for students and professionals in biomedical engineering and electrical engineering, particularly those interested in integrating signal processing into their projects and seeking guidance on project development and funding.

Do you have any electrical engineering senior design projects suitable for someone who is BME/EE? This is one of the (few) classes necessary if I want to also complete the EE major, which I sort of joined for fun, because (i) they have all the math courses, not sure why and (ii) the professors smile more.

The degree of BME-ness can be varied, but I'd like to make use of my background in biology, chemistry (up to P Chem), and signal processing (technically in the EE dept.) if I can. Technically, "applied physics" is covered within our EE dept., and I have some research experience with thermodynamics and NMR. I would strongly prefer that the project is heavy on signal processing.

Programming: Our EE design course professor pretty much insists that the coding should be done in LabView. I am more familiar with Java, Matlab, Maple, and a little C++.

I have basic machining and soldering skills, but I am far from a "maker." I have a summer and a semester to learn what is necessary by the spring semester of 2013.

The budget is about $200, but we are allowed to supplement it with external sources (mine still has ~$2000 left).

Thank you very much!

Sure, prosthetics, laboratory automation, instrumentation. I think the field is rich for that combination.
