This course introduces and discusses medical imaging and treatment techniques which make use of sound and light waves including ultrasound, terahertz and laser techniques. Ultrasound imaging techniques and applications: wave propagation theory (wave equation, transmission and reflection coefficients, attenuation), medically relevant examples. Terahertz imaging techniques and applications: generation and detection methods, principles of data analysis, molecular spectroscopy and potential medical applications. Laser techniques for medical treatments: photodynamic therapy, laser surgery. (Prerequisite: BMEG3320. Not for students who have taken ESTR4201.)

Principles of engineering economy. Value and cost; cash flows. Economic analysis of alternatives, technological, social and human factors. Models involving allocation and scheduling of resources. Analytical techniques for evaluating industrial projects. Relationship between economics of technical choice and industrial productivity. Basic financial accounting concepts; accounting cycle; financial statements. (Not for students who have taken SEEM2510 or ESTR2500.)

Basic physiologic systems: neuromuscular system, auditory system, pulmonary-cardiovascular system, etc. Bioelectric phenomena: action potentials, cellular membrane models, volume conductor models, ECG, EMG, EEG, etc. Biomedical modelling: lumped element model, bio-impedance and otoacoustic emissions. Topics in bio-modelling of recent interest. (Not for students who have taken ELEG4190.)

This course is a general introduction to the theory of price in a market economy. Topics include basic economic concepts, the theory of demand, production and cost, the operation of firms in competitive, oligopolistic and monopolistic markets, costs and benefits of government intervention in market economy, and introduction to game theory and informational economics. Analytical approach is used whenever appropriate. Applications on practical business problems are emphasized. (Not for students who have taken ECON2011 or ECON3011.)
