Last Updated: 2026-06-03 00:07:31
Abstract
"Project based Education (PBE)" Project-oriented learning on how to develop technological solutions to address unmet clinical needs.
Objective
After completing the course, you will be able to effectively collaborate with medical doctors in order to identify important unmet clinical needs. You will be able to ideate and develop appropriate engineering solutions and implementation strategies for real-world clinical problems. This lecture aims to prepare you for typical engineering challenges in the real-world where - in addition to the development of an elegant solution -interdisciplinary team work and effective communication play a key role.
