Introduction
This course covers topics selected to reflect the breadth and multidisciplinary nature of biomedical engineering. Material for the course is put together in cooperation with researchers, medical professionals and representatives from the healthcare industry. One of the objectives is to expose students to a variety of emerging technologies playing an important role in the paradigm shift towards preventive, personalized and precision medicine. The course also has a practical project that lasts for a short period where the students are assigned to any of the laboratories at OsloMet, medical/health care companies, or a department at local hospitals in the Oslo and Akershus region. The course is completed by the student giving an oral presentation of the practical project results.
Required preliminary courses
No formal requirements over and above the admission requirements.
Learning outcomes
A student who has completed this course should have the following learning outcomes:
Knowledge:
Upon successful completion of the course:
- the student will have in-depth knowledge of the selected topic in the curriculum and its relation to the practical project work.
Skills:
Upon successful completion of the course, the student:
- can apply theoretical knowledge into practical settings.
- can analyze a practical challenge in the view of the theoretical and research-based methodologies.
General competence:
Upon successful completion of the course, the student:
- is enabled to analyze, present and debate specific research subjects in light of the theoretical and practical approaches.
- can discuss the subject both at expert and non-expert levels.
Teaching and learning methods
The course applies research-based learning supervised by one or more supervisors (internal/external), and a practical assignment with individual report work. The student will make a written report based on research problems from the practical assignment and the selected theoretical material. The course ends by the student/students in group (2-5 students) giving a presentation on the chosen topic and the practical assignments.
Course requirements
Oral presentation of the practical project results.
Assessment
The final grade will be based on:
1) An individual/group (2-5 students) project report on a chosen topic and practical assignment (7 500 - 15 000 words) (50% of the final grade)
2) An individual oral exam (50% of the final grade)
Both exams must be passed in order to pass the course.
The oral exam cannot be appealed.
New/postponed exam
In case of failed exam or legal absence, the student may apply for a new or postponed exam. New or postponed exams are offered within a reasonable time span following the regular exam. The student is responsible for applying for a new/postponed exam within the time limits set by OsloMet. The Regulations for new or postponed examinations are available in Regulations relating to studies and examinations at OsloMet.
Permitted exam materials and equipment
All aids are permitted for the project report.
For the oral exam, a handheld calculator that cannot be used for wireless communication or to perform symbolic calculations is permitted. If the calculator’s internal memory can store data, the memory must be deleted before the exam. Random checks may be carried out.
Grading scale
Emnet gir en innføring i sentrale teoretiske temaer og posisjoner for å forstå profesjoner: en type yrker som skal bruke sin sertifiserte kunnskap for å utføre samfunnsnyttige tjenester (f.eks. leger, sykepleiere, lærere, politi, advokater og sosionomer).
Deltakerne vil få en oversikt over profesjonsteoretiske grunnbegreper som kunnskap, ekspertise, skjønn, sosial lukning, profesjonsutdanning og profesjonsetikk. De vil også lære om nyere utviklingstrekk som nyanserer og utbroderer grunnbegrepene, knyttet til nye former for politisk kontroll og styring, samt den økte betydningen av digitalisering og kunstig intelligens for profesjoner og profesjonsutøvelse. Emnet har en tydelig tverrfaglig profil, med bidrag fra sosiologi, filosofi, statsvitenskap, sosialantropologi, historie og utdanningsvitenskap.
Examiners
Etter fullført emne har kandidaten følgende læringsutbytte definert i kunnskap, ferdigheter og generell kompetanse:
Kunnskap
Kandidaten
- har bred og oppdatert oversikt over teorier relevante for studiet av profesjoner
- har inngående kunnskap om utvalgte profesjonsteorier som er særlig relevante for kandidatens avhandling
Ferdigheter
Kandidaten
- kan bruke profesjonsteori i egen forskning
- kan reflektere kritisk over profesjonsteoriers styrker, svakheter og begrensninger
- kan vurdere hensiktsmessigheten av ulike typer profesjonsteori i egen og andres forskning
Generell kompetanse
Kandidaten
- kan presentere profesjonsteoretiske resonnementer for et vitenskapelig publikum
- kan kommunisere profesjonsteoretiske problemstillinger til et allment publikum
Course contact person
Emnet gjennomføres som en kombinasjon av forelesninger og gruppediskusjoner. Deltakerne skal lese forberedende pensum i forkant av emnet, og bidra aktivt til diskusjoner underveis.
Deltagere vil bli informert om undervisningsplanen i god tid før emnestart, på læringsplattformen Canvas.
Deltagelse i emnet krever fysisk tilstedeværelse i klasserommet.
