Introduction to electrochemical transducers with enzyme, antibody, nucleicIntroduction to electrochemical transducers with enzyme, antibody, nucleic acid, or cell bioreceptors. Then we will investigate further into the other types of physical transducers based on temperature, strain, and light. We will then move forward into a group of biosensor topics include a pH sensor.

Theoretical investigation and problem identification of a special project in Biomedical engineering under the supervision of an academic faculty member, detailed report as well as an oral examination are required.

A training period of six month to be spent in the Biomedical engineering industry, hospitals, companies or research centers (inside or outside Jordan), under the follow up of an academic faculty member from the department, periodic reports and a final report must be submitted for evaluation, an oral examination is required.
