Biomedical Engineering Applications

Biomedical engineering is an interdisciplinary domain which applies principles of engineering to find solutions for biological and health problems. Biomedical engineering aims to improve our fundamental understanding of biological processes and develop approaches for optimized therapeutic/diagnostic healthcare procedures. The field of biomedical engineering involves the development of materials to replace or enhance the operation of damaged or malfunctioning biological entities, development of diagnostic and therapeutic tools, modeling of biological systems, signal processing and bioinformatics. This course will introduce students to biomedical engineering and provide insight into the various applications in the biomedical engineering field. The course will be divided into modules, and each will be given by a specialist in a certain biomedical engineering area.
