Students develop and build a product from A-Z! They work in teams and independently, learn to structure problems, to identify solutions, system analysis and simulations, as well as presentation and documentation techniques. They build the product with access to a machine shop and state of the art engineering tools (Matlab, Simulink, etc).

An introduction to biology for engineers: basic biochemistry, cell metabolism (principles of energy and mass transfer in cellular systems), cell biology (structure and composition of cells, transport processes across cell membranes, growth and reproduction of cells), cellular and molecular biophysics, quantitative tools used in bio- and biomedical engineering

Introduction to engineering mechanics with applications in biology and medicine: kinematics and statics of rigid bodies and systems. Basic introduction to deformation and failure of materials under load.

In this course, students attend 14 colloquium sessions featuring talks by PhD candidates, postdocs and senior researchers from academia and industry. Students must participate in at least 10 sessions and write abstracts for 10 presentations, broadening their biomechanics knowledge and sharpening scientific communication.

Significance and tasks of Biomedical Engineering in medical research and practice. Overview over the field and major areas of interest, examples.

This practical course is designed to give students hands on experience in CAD, FEM, product optimization, mechanical load testing, software development and hardware utilization in robotics.

Understanding of physical and technical principles in biomechanics, biomaterials, and tissue engineering as well as a historical perspective. Mathematical description and problem solving. Knowledge of biomedical engineering applications in research and clinical practice.
