Objectives
The aim of this course is the study of Biomedical engineering. Biomedical engineering includes two areas. The first one is analyses of living organisms using methodology combining several engineering fields, physics, chemistry and mathematics. The second one is the syntheses of medical (and/or healthcare) device design. In this course, the practical application of biomedical engineering such as medical devices is studied.
