The course main goal is to train medical engineering students in making sound quantitative or qualitative analysis in their field of study. This project course serves on one hand the scope of giving our students the possibility of applying the tools they are learning in the courses in Theory and Methodology of Science, and Statistics for Medical Engineers, Signal Processing and Analysis for Medical Engineers and Simulations Methods in Medical Engineering to problems that are relevant to their field of study and to train their ability to both plan, document and communicate the results of their projects. Further, the course aims at training our students in considering both sustainability and ethical aspects when exercising their profession.
