Course specific prerequisites
-Aim
This course will teach students an advanced topic in biomedical engineering. The specific topic of the course will vary between years.Learning outcomes (after completion of the course the student should be able to)
- Describe state of the art in the sub-area of biomedical engineering selected for study
- Show deep knowledge in the sub-area of biomedical engineering selected for study
- Independently perform a research prestudy, in the form of a limited research assignment.
- Independently analyze the results from the study and evaluate the potential of the proposed research project.
- Utilise skills and knowledge from a variety of subjects for investigating a complex question, problem or challenge
Content
This is a project-based course. In this course, each student will work on a project in different topics in biomedical engineering. The specific topics of the projects will vary between years. All projects contain:- Literature review
- Project work within a selected sub-area
- Written report
- Oral presentation of project
Organisation
In this course, students have the opportunity to choose a project from a diverse selection of topics or propose their own. Projects are carried out in groups, fostering collaboration and hands-on learning.
During the first lecture, various projects spanning different subfields/subareas of biomedical engineering will be introduced. Each student will select a project based on their interest and work in a team of 2-4 students under the supervision of a researcher specializing in the chosen area. The goal is to deepen knowledge and develop skills in the selected subfield.
Students who wish to propose their own project must identify a supervisor and submit a project proposal to the examiner at least one week before the course begins. The proposal should include an introduction of the project background, project aim/goal, methodologies, and project tasks.
Literature
The course material is different for each sub-area.Relevant course material will be introduced during the first introductory lecture.
Examination including compulsory elements
The grading will be based on the written project report and the oral presentation.The course examiner may assess individual students in other ways than what is stated above if there are special reasons for doing so, for example if a student has a decision from Chalmers about disability study support.
