10. Course Goals (acquired competencies): The course aims to provide students with an introduction to the basic concepts of biomedical engineering, an understanding of the structure and function of cells and tissues and the generation of electrical signals in cells. The students will be introduced to ways of acquisition and processing of bioelectrical signals and gain competence in using algorithms for bio-signal processing. The students will be introduced to biomedical imaging (X-ray, computer tomography, magnetic resonance, ultrasound, nuclear radiation images). The students will be competent to acquire and process biomedical images with different techniques and algorithms. The students will be acquainted with worldwide and local regulation and standards in this area.
11. Course Syllabus: Introduction to biomedical engineering, review of human anatomy and physiology. Biomechanics. Biomaterials, bio-tissue engineering. Analysis of bioelectric phenomena. Modelling and simulation of physiological systems. Techniques for detection, measurement and processing of biomedical signals, application of algorithms for bio-signal processing. Biomedical images, devices for acquisition. Methods for processing biomedical images. X-ray, computer tomography, magnetic resonance, ultrasound, nuclear radiation images. Application of algorithms for processing biomedical images. Numerical methods used in biomedical engineering. Effects of electromagnetic fields on biological systems. Application of engineering principles for analysis, modification and controlling biological systems. Ethics. Standards and regulative (worldwide and local).
12. Learning methods: Active participation in class, home and laboratory assignments and team projects.

20. Forms of assessment During the semester there are two written partial exams (at the middle and at the end of semester, with duration of 120 minutes). The student can participate in optional team project assignment that should be finished until the end of semester. The final grade is formed as a sum of the results from the partial exams, the laboratory excersises and the project assignments.
In the exam sessions there is written exam (duration 120 minutes). The final grade is formed as a sum of the results from the written exam, the laboratory excersises and the project assignments.
During the exam it is not allowed to use literature or notes, neither calculators, mobile phones or other electronic devices.
