[Journal 4] - Introduction to Bioelectronics

Assalamualaikum w.b.t. ,

Moshi-moshi, this already fourth journal for my Electronic System Engineering course under Malaysia - Japan International Institute of Technology (MJIIT) . This journal is about Bio-electronics that I learned from Dr Azran on 30th October 2012.

What is Electronics?
-Electronics deals with electrical circuits that involve active electrical components and associated passive interconnection technologies.

What is Bio-electronics?
- Basically, Bio-electronic is the application of electrical engineering principle based on biology , medicine , health and behavior.

On 30th October 2012, class started at 9.00 a.m. and this class is combined with Section 2. The reason why we combined the class because on that day, we does not have workshop but lecture session. This lecture was given by Dr Azran, one of MJIIT staff. He taught us a lot of new things especially about connection between biology and electronics field.

All student interested with lecture session.

Dr Azran gave us some information about electronic first, such as electronic symbol and etc. There are many things need to know in order to use all electronic symbol. Furthermore, electronics has many parts to learn , such as how to calculate resistance using colour code, how to calculate impedance. Here some of example of electronics knowledge:

Resistance color code

Impedance

Resistance in parallel and series circuits

In this lecture session, we had solve some problem related to parallel and series circuit including capacitors, resistors and Doppler Signal Discriminator.

Dr. Azran explain how to solve the problem

Next, Dr Azran us explain some biology things such as molecular biology, DNA in animal , structure of cell and etc.

DNA structure in Human

Furthemore, Dr Azran told us about a guy named Shinya Yamanaka (a winner of Noble Prize in Medicine in 2012) a senior investigator and the L.K. Whittier Foundation Investigator in Stem Cell Biology at the Gladstone Institute of Cardiovascular Disease and a professor of anatomy at UCSF .He is a Japanese physician and researcher of adult stem cells. His discovery of a way to turn adult skin cells into cells that act like embryonic stem cells. This discovery has since altered the fields of cell biology and stem cell research, offering new hope for the future of both personalized and regenerative medicine.

At the end of session, Dr Kamal give a briefing about presentation that we need to do in this course.We were divided into group of 4 person each and given a topic based on three major elective course which is Industrial Automation system, Bio-electronic system and Embedded system. For this year, Dr Kamal told us that we need to make a poster instead of using power point to present our task.
