Leerresultaten

Algemene competenties

Vertaling in het Nederlands in aanmaak.
  1. The student will be familiar with insight in the human biomechanics and the design requirements for appropriate medical devices.
  2. Knowledge of Computer Aided Design, specifically the use of the finite element method for biomechanical challenges
  3. Analysis and reporting of finite element studies
  4. Searching of scientific, biomedically oriented information (Pubmed, web of science) through project work, processing of this information into input for finite element model
  5. basic knowledge of biomechanics of hard- and soft tissues, gait analysis and mechanobiology

This course contributes to the following programme outcomes of the Master of Science in Biomedical Engineering:

MA_A:  KNOWLEDGE ORIENTED COMPETENCES

1. exact sciences with the specificity of their application to engineering
3. the advanced methods and theories to schematize and model complex problems or processes
4. reformulate complex engineering problems in order to solve them (simplifying assumptions, reducing complexity)
5. conceive, plan and execute a research project, based on an analysis of its objectives, existing knowledge and the relevant literature, with attention to innovation and valorization in industry and society
6. correctly report on research or design results in the form of a technical report or in the form of a scientific paper
8. collaborate in a (multidisciplinary) team
10. develop, plan, execute and manage engineering projects at the level of a starting professional

MA_B: ATTITUDE

12. a creative, problem-solving, result-driven and evidence-based attitude, aiming at innovation and applicability in industry and society
16. an attitude of life-long learning as needed for the future development of his/her career

MA_C: SPECIFIC BIOMEDICAL KNOWLEDGE

17. Knowledge of medical sciences to a level that is relevant to function within the context of biomedical technology.
18. To apply acquired knowledge and skills for the design, development, implementation and evaluation of biomedical products, systems and techniques  in the health care sector
19. To have knowledge of and insight in the role and possibilities of technology in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disease, matching the needs of the patient and health care provider
