Requirements

Accepted exercise work with seminar presentation and final exam.
Completion parts must belong to the same implementation

Principles and baselines related to teaching and learning

The project type grooup work is designed to teach project work flow and team work

Learning outcomes

After completing the course you have a comprehensive understanding of implantable sensors and actuators, limations and benefits fo impantable devices for clinical applications. You will get the basics for designing of neuromuscular and other implantable devices and their components.
