. This diary also contains anecdotal student thoughts/observations.• Lab 2 – Bioamplifier Fundamentals Each student analyzes properties of a commercial two-channel bioamplifier: input/output offsets, gain, frequency response, AC & DC coupling, and analog filters (highpass, lowpass, and bandpass). A piezoelectric pulse plethysmograph and a 3-lead electrocardiograph provide illustrative signals and spectra germane to this class of bioamplifier.• Lab 3 – Active Lowpass Filters Students compare time- and frequency-domain data acquired for two types of second-order, active lowpass filters (Sallen Key and multiple-feedback filters) with their corresponding transfer functions as predicted by theory and PSpice simulations
] and TheAmerican Council on Education (ACE) [13] prior to conversion to a numerical value. Factors inthe ANOVA included grades in math courses (Calculus I, Calculus II, Calculus III, andDifferential Equations), General Biology, two courses in English composition, and twosophomore-level biomedical engineering courses (Foundations of Biomedical Engineering andBiomedical Systems) as well as grade point average (GPA) entering the junior year and gender.Results of the ANOVA demonstrated that the factors related to the final grade in engineeringphysiology were grades in all four math courses, Foundations of Biomedical Engineering, andGeneral Biology, with p values no greater than 0.008 for any of these factors.Identification of these factors allowed
