Course history

Introduction

This course covers topics that reflect the breadth and multidisciplinary nature of biomedical engineering. Material for the course are createad 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 that play an important role in the paradigm shift towards preventive, personalized and precision medicine. The course also has a practical project where the students gain hands-on experience in designing, building and testing biomedical devices.

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:

  • has advanced understanding of the concepts and methods used in biomedical systems for health monitoring, including non-invasive techniques, rehabilitation and personalised medicine.
  • has knowledge of the practical aspects of designing, building and testing biomedical devices

Skills:

  • can apply theoretical knowledge into practical settings.
  • can design, implement or advance the chosen biomedical device.
  • can analyse a practical challenge in the view of the theoretical and research-based methodologies.

General competence:

  • can analyse, present and debate specific research subjects in light of the theoretical and practical approaches.
  • can explain the subject to various audience.

Teaching and learning methods

Lectures, practical work (group project), site visits, labs and experiments.

Course requirements

None

Assessment

The assessment will be based on a portfolio of the following:

  • Group project report (max 4000 words) and group presentation (20 min)
  • 4 individual assignments
  • An individual report documenting lab work, demonstrations and experiments (max 2000 words)

The portfolio will be assessed as a whole.

The written parts of the exam can be appealed. The presentation cannot be appealed. If the overall grade changes as a result of the appeal a new presentation must be held.

New/postponed exam
