Education methods
Course set in combination with a challenging integrated projectFor whom?
The minor is open for students from all technical disciplines (excluding technical medicine/clinical technology due to overlap). Basic knowledge of mechanics and Matlab is recommended.
What will you learn
The minor discusses biomedical technologies with a focus on:
- the human musculo-skeletal system
- minimally invasive techniques
- biomaterials
- imaging techniques, e.g. X-ray, CT, MRI, and Ultrasound
Guest lectures by physicians provide a strong focus on the medical discipline. Recent developments will be discussed based on research within the Reinier de Graaf Hospital and Erasmus Medical Center. In quarter two, you will perform a healthcare-related project in close collaboration with these clinical partners.
