Module goal - Knowledge and skill to be achieved by students |
|
| To introduce students to medical and biomedical engineering concepts. Students will gain knowledge of biomedical system modelling and will become familiar with different aspects and methods of applying engineering principles in medicine, especially in biological signal processing. Students will become familiar with characteristics of biomedical signals; with biomedical signal processing and analysis, and with principles of design and implementation of medical devices for physiological signal processing. <br> |
