Course Description
Biomedical equipment technology is evolving very rapidly. As a consequence, increasingly complex and essential biomedical equipment is entering patient care and biomedical research centers. This in turn creates a niche for specialized people who understand the emerging technology and possess the essential skills for maintaining, calibrating and customizing this equipment. This course will provide students with the knowledge that is essential for performing the duties of a Biomedical Engineering Technologist. The student will understand the latest developments and basic engineering principles of biomedical devices from their physiological basis to diagnostic and therapeutic applications.

Course Learning Outcomes

The student will reliably demonstrate the ability to: 1. Apply existing knowledge for applications in biomedical engineering technology. 2. Identify hazards of operating biomedical instrumentation such as defibrillators or electrosurgical units 3. Describe the different components of the hospital environment and medical instrumentation used with respect to patient treatment. 4. Review the capabilities and limitations of transducer devices used to transform the patients vital signs into usable signals as inputs into Biomedical Instrumentation. 5. State purpose, uses, principle of operation, and maintenance of the following equipment: defibrillators, pacemakers, lasers, infant warming systems, fetal monitors, infusion devices, pulse oximeters and anesthesia systems. 6. Describe the principles behind the electrosurgery machine and lasers. 7. Relate current management approaches that are appropriate to medical equipment maintenance.

Essential Employability Skills (EES)

The student will reliably demonstrate the ability to: 1. Communicate clearly, concisely, and correctly in the written, spoken, and visual form that fulfills the purpose and meets the needs of the audience. 2. Apply a systematic approach to solve problems. 3. Analyze, evaluate, and apply relevant information from a variety of sources. 4. Interact with others in groups or teams in ways that contribute to effective working relationships and the achievement of goals. 5. Locate, select, organize, and document information using appropriate technology and information systems 6. Manage the use of time and other resources to complete projects.

Global Citizenship and Equity (GC&E) Outcomes

The student will reliably demonstrate the ability to: 1. Identify beliefs, values and behaviors that form individual and community identities and the basis for respectful relationships.

In consultation with the Chair or Dean, a faculty member or instructor may administer additional or alternative evaluations to fully assess the capability of a student. When writing a test or examination, students must put their official College photo-ID cards in full view for review by the invigilator. Students who do not have official photo-ID will be permitted to write the examination with a substitute photo-ID, but they will be required to produce photo-ID at the program or department office within 24 hours or the next business day following the examination, or else the examination results will be void.

Student Accommodation
All students have the right to study in an environment that is free from discrimination and/or harassment. It is College Policy to provide accommodation based on grounds defined in the Ontario Human Rights Code. Accommodation may include changes or modifications to standard practices. This document is available in alternative formats upon request. Please contact the originating department or school of study. Students with disabilities who require academic accommodations must register with the Centre for Student with Disabilities. Please see the Centre for Students with Disabilities for details. Students requiring accommodation based on human rights grounds should talk with their professors as early as possible. Details are available on the Centennial College website (www.centennialcollege.ca ). If students are unable to write an examination due to a medical problem or unforeseen family problems, they should immediately contact their professor or program Chair for advice. In exceptional and well documented circumstances (e.g. unexpected family problems, serious illness, or death of a close family member), students should be able to write a make-up examination to replace an examination missed.

Student Rights and Responsibilities

Students should familiarize themselves with all College Policies that cover students rights and responsibilities. For more information on the following and other policies, please visit www.centennialcollege.ca/aboutus/respect or consult the Academic Matters Section in the fulltime and Continuing Education catalogues. Respect at Centennial At Centennial College, we are committed to providing a safe and respectful learning, teaching and working environment for all students, faculty, and staff that promotes equity. Policies have been put in place to ensure that Centennial is a place that demonstrates respect and consistency with the Ontario Human Rights Code. All incidents of harassment, discrimination, bullying, and violence will be addressed and responded to. As a college, we take the position that all forms of harassment, including personal harassment and bullying, must be stopped. Please refer to www.centennialcollege.ca/aboutus/respect and www.stopbullyingnow.ca. Academic Honesty Academic honesty is integral to the learning process and a necessary ingredient of academic integrity. Students have a responsibility to be aware of and comply with College standards of academic conduct. Academic dishonesty includes cheating, plagiarism, and impersonation. All of these occur when the work of others is presented by a student as their own and/or without citing sources of information. Breaches of academic honesty will be investigated and if warranted, appropriate remedies and penalties will be applied, which may include a failing grade on the assignment/course, suspension, or expulsion from the college. Grades Appeal Students and faculty have rights and responsibilities in the Grades Appeal process. Students who need to appeal a grade should consult the Grades Appeal policy and procedures. Progression and Academic Standing Students are expected to meet the academic standards of their School or program. The academic standing of each Centennial student is monitored during, as well as at the end of, each semester. Any student not demonstrating satisfactory progress will be informed of his/her standing in the College and will receive academic advising within their School. Unsatisfactory academic performance may result in conditional academic standing, probation, or suspension.

Faculty Support
Professors are available to see students outside of class time. Students can contact professors via voice mail, email, or through their program or department office. Information regarding how

to contact teachers will be provided at the beginning of the course and is also available in the program or department office.

Campus Safety
As part of our efforts to maintain a safe and secure teaching, learning and working environment, professors, and instructors will review emergency procedures for fire, evacuations, emergency lock-downs, and safe exit for those with disabilities at the beginning of each course. Students must produce official photo identification when requested to do so by any college staff at any time during the semester.
