Course Description

Students attend a total of 15 weeks of classes in this subject.
The main topics are how human recognize the living, living body, organ, tissues and cell.
Physiological and Biochemical parameters and those significance that will be discussed on.
This course relates to DP4E.

Course Objectives

The aim of this course is to study 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.

Grading Policy

Final and Middle Exam: 60%
Report#1 and #2: 40%
The results will be informed and reviewed mainly via LMS.
