This course introduces Biomedical Engineers to the principles and processes governing software design and development. Software development processes are explored in the context of procedural and object-oriented paradigms (C/C++). Topics include requirements analysis/specifications, detailed design and implementation, testing, inspection and debugging. Decomposition into classes and modules is examined from the point of view of data-flow, entity-relationships, and the unified modeling language (UML). Students will learn how to leverage industry standard tools for design and development. Laboratory work will focus on applications relating to biomedical engineering.
