    Module Synopses

    Semester One
    1. Anatomy and Physiology
    This module introduces the basic structure and function of the human body. The
    gross anatomy and physiological processes of major organs is taught in order to
    enable students to correlate structure with function. This module will cover the
    functional aspects and the various vivo signals generated from skeletal & muscular,
    cardiovascular, nervous, respiratory and urinary systems. Heat generation in human
    body system also covered.

    2. Introduction to Biomedical Engineering


    This module introduces the students an overall view of the Biomedical Engineering
    discipline. It covers basic concepts of biomedical engineering and their connection
    with the spectrum of human activity. Various physiology system and related medical
    technologies will be introduced. Classical and current trends related to
    physiological models, biomechanics, biomaterials are discussed. Students also learn
    the types of medical device classes and the various safety standards.

    Semester Two
    3. Biomedical Instrumentation
    Electronic and mechanical aspects in design and operation of medical tools and
    equipment are discussed here. The emphasis will be on study of electronic parts of
    most common tools such as EEG, ECG and EMG machines. The application and
    fundamentals about equipment in different clinical units will be also briefed. The
    students will learn the fundamentals of flow measurement, control and monitoring in
    conjunction with blood and cardiovascular system.

    4. Biomedical Equipment & Engineering Practices


    The objective of this module is to familiarize the students with medical tools and
    equipment frequently used in different medical and rehabilitation engineering
    departments. The equipment used in Operating Room, Intensive Care Unit,
    Radiotherapy, Cardiology, Neurology sections, clinical laboratory, physiotherapy
    department, rehabilitation department will be covered. In this module the students
    will learn the nature of biological information measured by this equipment. A brief
    explanation of circuits, mechanical and biochemical parameters involved in the
    measurements will be explained. Students will learn about the common medical
    equipment characteristics, the nature of data measured and the general concept of
    designing equipment and equipment maintenance practices will be discussed.

    5. Project
    Enables each student to apply his knowledge to solve practical problems or research
    on a current and emerging related topic. Students will be given an opportunity to
    plan and design a project on related biomedical engineering application. The
    project can be one proposed by staff
    member or a sponsored project, approved by the course coordinator, from their work
    place. Students may also select to do a detail study and submit a dissertation on a
    current or emerging topic approved by the course coordinator.
