Introduction into selected topics of biomedical engineering as well as their relationship with physics and physiology. The focus is on learning the basic vocabulary of biomedical engineering and getting familiar with concepts that govern common medical instruments and the most important organs from an engineering point of view.

This course reviews musculoskeletal disorders focusing on the clinical presentation, current treatment approaches and future challenges and opportunities to overcome failures.

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.

This course provides an introduction to finite element analysis, with a specific focus on problems and applications from biomedical engineering.

Biofabrication involves the assembly of materials, cells, and biological building blocks into grafts for tissue engineering and in vitro models. The student learns techniques involving the fabrication and characterization of tissue engineered scaffolds and the design of 3D models based on medical imaging data. They apply this knowledge to design, manufacture and evaluate a biofabricated graft.

The goal of this course is to teach MSc students the necessary skills for doing research in the fields of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.

This course will provide insight into various aspects of medical device design such as patient needs assessment, product specification, research and technical design, validation, regulatory affairs and clinical evaluation.
