Personal (decision-making, lifelong learning, cooperation and teamwork) Skills: D1 Is able to work effectively both independently and in a team in scientific projects and business activities; D2 Is able to identify a biomedical problem relevant to the society and prepare a project plan for the development of a technological solution to the problem, taking into account economic, social, engineering and ethical aspects; D3 Is able to consider and evaluate the impact of engineering decisions on society and the environment, take personal responsibility and adhere to the norms of professional ethics in practical engineering activities; D4 Is able to communicate effectively orally, in writing and through multimedia while presenting research results and practical solutions to biomedical problems to the engineering and scientific community and the general public. Activities of teaching and learning: The studies include classroom work (lectures, practical work, laboratory work, consultation seminars, outgoing visits to enterprises, etc.) and individual work for mastering theoretical material, preparation for classroom work, intermediate and final assessments and performing other activities. The studies of each study module are completed by the assessment of the student’s knowledge and skills – an examination or another final assessment; the study programme is completed by the final degree project and its defence. The study methods of active learning, such as design (programming), design thinking, challenge-based learning, creative workshops, group work, experiential learning, discussion, problem-based learning, reflective learning, idea
(mind) mapping, etc. are applied to encourage the active participation and creativity of students in the study process. The achievements are assessed using the traditional assessment methods, such as laboratory examination, assignments, laboratory or project report, as well as other methods: work or competency file (portfolio), problem-solving task, engineering project, reflection on action, self-assessment, etc. Methods of assessment of learning achievements: The applied cumulative assessment system of the learning outcomes ensures constant and involving work of students during the entire semester of studies; the final evaluation of the study module consists of the sum of the grades of intermediate assessments and the final assessment multiplied by the weighting coefficients (percentages of components). The number of intermediate assessments and their expression in percentage are chosen by the study module’s coordinating lecturer. Besides the usual forms of assessment (for example, examination, oral presentation, project report, laboratory examination), an additional form of assessment “Assessment of student activity (level)” may be applied (up to 10% of the final grade) for the assessment of the student’s preparation for case analysis, an active discussion, participation in debates, etc. Framework: Study subjects (modules), practical training: Biomedical Image Processing and Analysis, Design of Biomedical Devices, Digital Processing of Biomedical Signals, Digital Signal Processing and Machine Learning, Experimental Biomechanics, Human-Computer Interaction, Imaging Instruments and Methods in Medicine, Master’s Degree Final Project, Methodology of Biomedical Engineering, Research Project 1, Research Project 2, Systems of Human Physiology, Ultrasonic Medical Diagnostics. Specialisations: - Optional courses: Electives: Advanced Digital Systems Design, Radiation Protection and Safety, Modelling of Physiological Systems, Medical Telemetry Systems, Medical Informatics Systems, Identification of Biomedical Processes, Engineering Projects Management, Biophysics, Biomedical Technology Management. Distinctive features of a study programme: A graduate has multidisciplinary knowledge and skills in biophysics, human physiology, methodology of biomedical engineering, medical electronics, clinical engineering, digital processing of biomedical signals and images, biomedical visualisation systems, and medical informatics, and is able to integrate the acquired interdisciplinary knowledge and problem solving skills when designing and introducing systems of biomedical diagnostics and therapy in clinical practice, plan and develop an experiment and prepare its mathematical model, control the tools of mathematical modelling, as well as interpret and critically evaluate the obtained results. Access to professional activity or further study: Access to professional activity: The graduate can carry research, designing, technological, and expert-consulting work in enterprises and organisations of public or private sectors in the areas of healthcare, biomedical equipment design, production, maintenance, marketing, consulting and sales. Access to further study: S/he has access to the third cycle studies.
