Course Code: BTEC 314

COURSE DESCRIPTION:
In this course, students learn the basic operation of a wide range of photonic devices, and their application(s) in medical science. Basic devices such as: LASERs (together with the safety considerations thereof), Charge Coupled Devices (CCD), PhotoMultiplier Tubes (PMT), Avalanche PhotoDiodes (APD), dichroic mirrors, and diffraction gratings, are investigated. Fundamental concepts of optics and tissueare combined to illustrate the result of photon-tissue interaction. The use of biophotonics in both clinical and research settings are also explored.

COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES:

Upon successful course completion, students will be able to: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Verify the basic operation of various photonic devices Evaluate the basic principles of light-tissue interactions Investigate the operation of a pulse oxymeter Design a basic interferometer and spectrometer Explore finite light detection Predict fundamental LASER hazards. Analyze photonic device usage in medical science (research, diagnosis, intervention) Assess the data sheets of photonic devices

ESSENTIAL EMPLOYABILITY SKILLS (EES):

This course supports the students ability to: Communicate clearly, concisely, and correctly in the written, spoken, and visual form that fulfills the purpose and meets the needs of the audience. Respond to written, spoken, or visual messages in a manner that ensures effective communication. Execute mathematical operations accurately. Apply a systematic and pragmatic approach to solve problems. Locate, select, organize, and document information using appropriate technology and information systems. Analyze, evaluate, and apply relevant information from a variety of sources. Show respect for the diverse opinions, values, belief systems, and contributions of others. Interact with others in groups or teams in ways that contribute to effective working relationships and the achievement of goals. Manage the use of time and other resources to complete projects. Take responsibility for ones own actions, decisions, and consequences.

STUDENT ACCOMMODATION:
All students have the right to study in an environment that is free from discrimination and/or harassment. It is College Policy to provide accommodation based on grounds defined in the Ontario Human Rights Code. Accommodation may include changes or modifications to standard practices. Students with disabilities who require academic accommodations must register with the Centre for Student with Disabilities. Please see the Centre for Students with Disabilities for details. Students requiring accommodation based on human rights grounds should talk with their professors as early as possible. Details are available on the Centennial College website (www.centennialcollege.ca ). If students are unable to write an examination due to a medical problem or unforeseen family problems, they should immediately contact their professor or program Chair for advice. In exceptional and well documented circumstances (e.g. unexpected family problems, serious illness, or death of a close family member), students should be able to write a make-up examination to replace an examination missed.

TEXT AND OTHER INSTRUCTIONAL/LEARNING MATERIALS:

1. Textbook: Paras N. Prasad, Introduction to Biophotonics, 1st Edition, Wiley 2. Lab Manual: Mike Giggey, BTEC 314 Lab Manual, 1st Edition, Centennial College Bookstore 3. Supplimental material (recommended reading): Tuan Vo-Dinh, Biomedical Photonics Handbook, 1st Edition, CRC Press

USE OF DICTIONARIES
Any dictionary (hard copy or electronic) may be used in regular class work; English-Additional Language (e.g. English- or Additional Language-English (e.g. ) -English) dictionaries may be used in regular class work; Dictionary use is not permitted in test or examination settings.

POLICY STATEMENTS
College Policies
The following statements are selected from Centennial College policies approved by the Board of Governors.

Student Responsibilities
Students are expected to know the contents of the course outline and to discuss with the professor any areas where clarification is required. Students should keep all course outlines for each course taken at Centennial College. These may be used to apply for transfer of credit to other educational institutions. A fee may be charged for additional or replacement copies.

Other Policies
Students should familiarize themselves with all College Policies that cover students rights, responsibilities, and the Academic Appeal process. For further information, consult the Academic Matters Section in the full-time and Continuing Education calendars. The Academic Appeal Application form is available from any Enrolment Services Office.

Proof of Student Status

Students must produce official photo identification at any time during the semester when requested to do so by any professor. (The official piece is the Centennial Student Card.) Continuing Education students do not have Centennial Student Cards, and so they may use other forms of photo identification, such as a drivers license, health card, or other government-issued photo identification.

Final Examinations
When writing a test or examination, students must put their official photo-ID cards in full view for review by the invigilator. Students who do not have official photo-ID will be permitted to write the examination with a substitute photo-ID, but they will be required to produce photo-ID at the program or department office within 24 hours or the next business day following the examination, or else the examination results will be void. More Final Examination Policies are available at http://my.centennialcollege.ca.

Academic Progression Policy for Diploma and Certificate Programs:

College Academic Standings will be applied. Calendar. Please see Academic Policies and Procedures, Full-Time

Faculty Consultation
Professors are available to see students outside of class time. Students can contact professors via voice mail, email, or through their program or department office. Information regarding how to contact teachers will be provided at the beginning of the course and is also available in the program or department office.

Human Rights Statement

It is the policy of the College that all programs will strive for a learning, teaching, and working environment that promotes inclusion, understanding, and respect for all students and employees, consistent with the Ontario Human Rights Code and Centennial College's Statement of Diversity.
