| 151-0593-00L | Embedded Control Systems | 4 credits | 6G | C. Onder, M. Schmid Daners | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Abstract | This course provides a comprehensive overview of embedded control systems. The concepts introduced are implemented and verified on a microprocessor-controlled haptic device. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Learning objective | Familiarize students with main architectural principles and concepts of embedded control systems. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Content | An embedded system is a microprocessor used as a component in another piece of technology, such as cell phones or automobiles. In this intensive two-week block course the students are presented the principles of embedded digital control systems using a haptic device as an example for a mechatronic system. A haptic interface allows for a human to interact with a computer through the sense of touch. Subjects covered in lectures and practical lab exercises include: - The application of C-programming on a microprocessor - Digital I/O and serial communication - Quadrature decoding for wheel position sensing - Queued analog-to-digital conversion to interface with the analog world - Pulse width modulation - Timer interrupts to create sampling time intervals - System dynamics and virtual worlds with haptic feedback - Introduction to rapid prototyping | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Lecture notes | Lecture notes, lab instructions, supplemental material | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Prerequisites / Notice | Prerequisite courses are Control Systems I and Informatics I. This course is restricted to 33 students due to limited lab infrastructure. Interested students please contact Marianne Schmid Daners (E-Mail: marischm@ethz.ch) After your reservation has been confirmed please register online at www.mystudies.ethz.ch. Detailed information can be found on the course website http://www.idsc.ethz.ch/education/lectures/embedded-control-systems.html | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 227-0981-00L | Cross-Disciplinary Research and Development in Medicine and Engineering  A maximum of 12 medical degree students and 12 (biomedical) engineering degree students can be admitted, their number should be equal. IMPORTANT: Note that a special permission from the lecturers is required to register for this course. Contact the head lecturer to that end. | 4 credits | 2V + 2A | V.

| Abstract | Cross-disciplinary collaboration between engineers and medical doctors is indispensable for innovation in health care. This course brings together engineering students from ETH Zurich and medical students from the University of Zurich to experience the rewards and challenges of such interdisciplinary work in a project based learning environment. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Learning objective | The main goal of this course is to demonstrate the differences in communication between the fields of medicine and engineering. Since such differences become most evident during actual collaborative work, the course is based on a project in physiology, medical or clinical research that combines medicine and engineering. For the engineering students, the specific aims of the course are to: - Identify and precisely define a clinical need; - Acquire a working understanding of the investigated system; - Identify the engineering challenges in the project and communicate them to the medical students; - Develop and implement, together with the medical students, solution strategies for the identified challenges; - Present the solution concept to a cross-disciplinary audience; Preliminary need and solution validation; | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Content | After a general introduction to interdisciplinary communication, need identification and product development, the engineering students will team up with medical students to 1) identify a clinically relevant need, 2) develop early-stage solution concepts to it. In the process, they will be supervised both by lecturers from ETH Zurich and the University of Zurich, receiving coaching customized to the project. The project is usually defined by the team itself, but can also be guided by the lecturers. The course will end with each team presenting identified need and solution concept to a cross-disciplinary audience. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Lecture notes | Lecture handouts and relevant material will be provided. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
