Learning outcomes
After completing the course students can explain the indications for applying the most common engineering methods and solutions and their role in the treatment of different diseases, disorders, and disabilities. Students can explain the operation principle of most common engineering based therapy methods, their physical and chemical interaction mechanisms with and biological effects on tissues. Students can identify the importance and role of different engineering fields, like electrical and mechanical engineering, information technology, material science and tissue engineering in the design of different engineering solutions in medical treatments.
