Note from June 29, 2020
Although we do not yet know how long the social distancing related to the Covid-19 pandemic will last, and regardless of the changes that had to be made in the evaluation of the June 2020 session in relation to what is provided for in this learning unit description, new learnig unit evaluation methods may still be adopted by the teachers; details of these methods have been - or will be - communicated to the students by the teachers, as soon as possible.

Main themes
Biomedical engineering is a pluridisciplinary field that finds its place at the interface between biomedical sciences and engineering sciences leading on to a multitude of applications. Thus, biomedical engineering is not only an important discipline subject to specific teachings in a constantly increasing number of universities, but also a domain quite difficult to apprehend at first glance.
Therefore the main objective of this course is to present to the students whose interests lay in biomedical engineering an introduction to the discipline. Concretely, this course covers an introduction to the main domains of biomedical engineering: (bio)-instrumentation, medical imaging, medical computer sciences, biological models, artificial organs, (bio)-materials, rehabilitation engineering, radiophysics, and clinical engineering.
