Content, progress and pedagogy of the module

Learning objectives

Knowledge

  • Can account for current knowledge within one of the following biomedical engineering and informatics research areas:
    • Signal processing
    • Image analysis
    • Pattern recognition
    • Decision support
    • Clinical information systems
    • Sensory systems
    • Rehabilitation systems
    • Physiological modelling
  • Can explain the origin of the signal or information on which the project work is based                         
  • Can explain different methods of recording, analysing and/or modelling the signal or information the project work is based on

Skills

  • Can identify and formulate a biomedical engineering and informatics problem within signal processing, image analysis, pattern recognition, decision support, clinical information systems, sensory systems, rehabilitation systems or physiological modelling
  • Can create an overview of existing knowledge within a defined biomedical engineering and informatics research area based on a scientifically relevant problem
  • Can apply relevant scientific methods of answering the problem statement or hypothesis of the project
  • Can analyse signals or information with reference to clinical relevance
  • Can document the planning and execution of a small research project
  • Can discuss the methods of the project based on the achieved results

Competences

  • Can assess the validity of different types of scientific references
  • Can structure an overview of current knowledge within a scientific subject area
  • Can critically reflect on strengths and weaknesses in the organisation and planning of the specific project work
  • Can argue for the choice of content in a scientific summary (abstract) when disseminating a biomedical engineering and informatics research project
  • Can argue for the selections and deselections made when presenting a biomedical engineering and informatics project work at a scientific conference
  • Independently initiate, establish and carry out a collaboration in the project group
  • Can reflect on factors in the specific project work that affect your individual learning process positively and negatively

Type of instruction

  • The module is taught, cf. §17 of the study programme.
