Advancing Healthcare Through Medical Electronics, Bridging Engineering and Clinical Practice
The postgraduate programme on Medical Electronics will help students to learn and apply the principles of physical and engineering sciences to the practical problems of biomedicine and clinical practice. The students will:
- Gain hands-on experience in proper usage of sensors and measurement of vital physiological parameters,
- Learn in theory and practice about the various signal and imaging modalities in hospitals,
- Learn and apply basic and advanced processing techniques for biomedical signals and images,
- Learn and understand the working principles of assist devices,
- Apply the knowledge gained for research, design and development of biomedical devices
Integrating Engineering with Healthcare for the Future
The added advantage of the programme is that no previous biomedical knowledge is required and the students learn in theory and gain hands on experience in working with biomedical instruments in laboratories and hospitals.
Students can broaden their knowledge of both electronic engineering and physics, encompassing the aspects of both disciplines as applied to medicine.
Students can effectively acquire the medical vocabulary they need to communicate effectively with clinical colleagues.
In addition to lectures, students will individually work on research projects including design and development of medical instruments, speech, signal and image processing modalities and acquire key skills in research techniques and project management.
The programme prepares the students for professional appointments as engineers and scientists in the field of healthcare and enables them to make their own contribution to the maintenance and improvement of the standard of service to the patients.
