Education methods
Course set in combination with a challenging integrated projectFor whom?
The minor is open for students from all technical disciplines. 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
- 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 Medical Delta, a cooperation between the Delft University of Technology, the Leiden University Medical Center, and the Erasmus Medical Center.
