TBMT14 Biomedical Engineering - Project Course, 12 ECTS credits.
/Projektkurs i medicinsk teknik, CDIO/

For:   BME   D   IT   Y  


OBS!
The Entrepreneurship part overlap with other CDIO courses and cannot be included more than once in a degree. The course is not available for exchange students
 

Prel. scheduled hours: 20
Rec. self-study hours: 300

  Area of Education: Technology

Main field of studies: Biomedical Engineering

  Advancement level (G1, G2, A): A

Aim:
Through a project work, driven by the Conceive - Design - Implement - Operate (CDIO) process, reflect and confirm biomedical engineering processes, products and organization similar to real industrial and professional thinking. This is fulfilled through a the project and after passing the course the student should be able to:
  • identify biomedical needs and suggest solutions/actions.
  • analyze and structure problems with respect to a priori knowledge and create new knowledge.
  • create and implement new knowledge within the biomedical engineering domain based on synthesis from other engineering core domains.
  • demonstrate biomedical engineering solutions to well-defined needs or problems.
  • critically examine project proposals and solutions.
  • document and follow up of project and time plans.
  • develop power of initiative and demonstrate creative solutions.
  • actively participate and well functioning in at least one project group.
  • present results both written and orally within a given time period and budget.

A purpose for the course is also for the students to acquire knowledge and abilities within the general area of entrepreneurship, with particular focus on business planning for new ventures. After the course, students should be able to:
  • account for models that describe what it takes for a new venture to have a stable basis for further development and to asess the level of development of ventures using such models; and
  • account for the information and analyses needed to evaluate a development project from a business point of view and have the ability to collect and analyse relevant information for the purpose.
Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Basic knowledge in physics, chemistry and electronics. Basic knowledge in mathematics, stochastic processes and signal theory. Use of the Lips model. Knowledge in Biomedical engineering or Anatomy and physiology. Biomedical optics or other project specific courses.

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.
Organisation:
Project course according to "Concieve Design Interact Operate (CDIO)" and performed through "lätt interaktiv styrmodell (LIPS)". Minimum group size is 4 students but ordinarily 5-8. A tutor and resources (hardware, software and staff) is allocated at beginning of the project.
The course runs over the entire autumn semester.
Course contents:
Biomedical engineering project chosen from a database list (catalogue, IMT).
Course literature:
Compendium IMT, 2009.
Webbased literature database (project specific).
Compendium "LIPS" (Bokakademien).
Examination:
Project work
Written assignment
