Additional information
Biomedical Engineering is a very wide and multidisciplinary field of engineering applications in medicine. Biomedical Engineering minor gives a solid background to understand the anatomic structure and physiological and physical functioning of the human body and to apply this knowledge in engineering courses. It gives a theoretical introduction to and practicing with medical instrumentation, signals and images, physiological modeling, as well as biomaterials.
