Learning Outcomes
After passing the course student can: - describe fundamental concepts of Biomedical Engineering: research and development, impact to modern medicine and high-tech industry. - apply system theory to describe how the body works as a complicated biologic-physical system. - specify different functional components of a physiological recording system - describe how the most common physiological signal are recorded, and analyzed - describe the basics of clinical imaging systems and properties of the medical images - describe the basics of physiological and medical modelling - describe the basics of medical therapy device systems.

Instructions for students on how to achieve the learning outcomes
The final grade of the course is determined based on the assessment of all part of the course. The weighting factor of each part is given at the beginning of the course. Grades 1-2: Learning outcomes have been achieved with minimal insufficiency. Satisfactory command in core content of the course. Grades 3-4: Some learning outcomes have been exceeded qualitatively or quantitatively. Good command in core content and complementary knowledge of course content. Good or very good marks from all parts of the course. Grade 5: Most of the learning outcomes have been exceeded. Deep command in the whole content of the course. Almost maximum performance in all parts of the course.
Assessment scale:
Numerical evaluation scale (1-5) will be used on the course
