BME Exam 1 Questions Perfectly Answered

"Biomedical" Systems Engineering - -Application of SE principles in biomedical device development -Regulatory implications -Substitute "biomedical" for "system"?? "engineer-scientist" type of BME - (most likely found in academic institutions and industrial research labs)—is primarily interested in applying engineering concepts and techniques to the investigation and exploration of biological processes "problem solver" type of BME - most likely the clinical engineer or biomedical design engineer) maintains the traditional service relationship with the life scientists who originate a problem that can be solved by applying the specific expertise of the engineer "technological entrepreneur" type of BME - (less common); "(most likely a biomedical design engineer in industry). This individual assumes that the gap between the technological education of the life scientist or physician and the present technological capability has become so great that the life scientist cannot pose a problem that will incorporate the application of existing technology •Bridges Traditional Engineering Disciplines - -Electrical, Mechanical, Chemical etc. -SE Bridges Disciplines -"Big Picture" but able to drill down to details •Kantianism, a form of nonconsequentialism - -Based largely on the views of Immanuel Kant, this ethical school of thought insists that there is something uniquely precious about human beings from the moral point of view. According to Kant's theory, humans have certain "rights" that do not apply to any other animal. -For example, the moral judgments that we should not kill and eat one another for food or hunt one another for sport or experiment on one another for medical science are all based on this view of human rights. •Mathematics is key to biomedical engineering - -Specialized problem solving / modeling- - Descriptive statistics •Many areas of study - science, economics etc. •Probability axioms and properties - -The probability of an event, A, occurring given that another event, B, has occurred is expressed as P (A|B) and is given by: •Project Management - -SE is inherent part •Objectives, execution, evaluation, corrective actions -Other management tasks usually done by SE -Often SE is technical project leader •Standard Error of the Mean (SEM) - -The dispersion of the sample mean. Is the sample standard deviation divided by the square root of the sample size. SEM= S/(sqrt(n) •State machine vs. Flow Chart - "State" - system waiting to do something, or to transition ex. opening or closing a door •Stem Cell Research - -Regenerate -Differentiate -Produce any type of tissue -Technological advances •Utilitarianism, a form of consequentialism - -Consequentialism holds that the morally right action is always the one among the available options that has the best consequences.-No specific actions or courses of conduct are automatically ruled out as immoral or ruled in as morally obligatory. The rightness or wrongness of an action is wholly contingent upon its effects. -the morally right course of action is the one that maximizes pleasure, minimizes pain, or both—the one that does the "greatest good for the greatest number." Address four main questions during the semester: •What are the key fields of development in the world of biomedical engineering? - -Guest lectures Address four main questions during the semester: What do biomedical engineers do? - -What do biomedical engineers do? •Engineering practices / perspectives, system or product devel • Careers, fields of study Addressing 4 main questions during the semester: What makes biomedical engineering different than other fields of engineering? - -Regulatory environment, biology and medicine, medical ethics ALTERNATIVE HYPOTHESIS - Contains a statement of inequality Average Moving Range - •The average distance of each data point to its neighbor. Moving Range computes ranges of two or more successive measurements. The default range span is 2. Because moving ranges are correlated, interpretation should be handled with
