Biomedical Engineering

Always wondered how technology can improve health care? The minor emphasizes the relation between medicine and engineering. Lectures, also from physicians, and exercises will highlight the recent developments in biomedical engineering. We will challenge you to solve (bio-)medical problems with technology.

At the end of this minor, the students will be able to:

• describe the structure and the function of the muscoloskeletal system in the human body from an engineering perspective.
• describe the characteristics of the fields of application of medical devices and imaging modalities, as well as the end-users in these fields.
• understand the collaboration complexity between clinicians and engineers in the development process and use of medical-technical equipment and systems.
• explain the physical and engineering principles involved in specific medical devices and imaging modalities used in medicine.
• describe typical phases in the development process of medical devices.
• answer clinical questions based on biomedical research or medical designs using a scientific approach.

Teaching method: Lectures, assignments, exams
Location: Delft, with guest lecturers from Leiden and Rotterdam and excursions
