Opens up

  • Biomedical engineering research

What it covers

Topics

  • The medical-device design process
  • Regulatory frameworks, FDA and CE marking
  • Biocompatibility and materials selection
  • Systems for diagnostics and for therapy
  • Risk management and design controls

Results worth carrying out

  • Risk priority number

    RPN=S×O×D\mathrm{RPN} = S \times O \times D
  • Residual risk after mitigation

    Rres=Phazard×Pharmhazard×SR_{\text{res}} = P_{\text{hazard}} \times P_{\text{harm}\mid\text{hazard}} \times S

This map tells you what a course contains. The summaries, the tutoring and the people who already took it are the part you get by joining.

The topic outlines are not official syllabi. The university publishes a catalogue blurb per course, not lecture-by-lecture material, so each outline describes what a course of that name, at those hours, with those prerequisites teaches at engineering schools generally, cross-checked against the standard textbook for the subject. Treat it as an informed map, not as a transcript of the lectures.
