BMT102 (P213-0004) Biomedical Engineering, Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2011 , semester 1, mandatory course
Workload:
Workload of student for successfully completing the course. Each ECTS credit represents 30 working hours. These are the combined effort of face-to-face time, post-processing the subject of the lecture, exercises and preparation for the exam.

The total workload is distributed on the semester (01.04.-30.09. during the summer term, 01.10.-31.03. during the winter term).
90 class hours (= 67.5 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 180 hours (equivalent to 6 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 112.5 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
None.
Recommended as prerequisite for:
BMT503
BMT606

Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this course, students will be familiar with the most important functional and structural systems of the human organism, as well as the technical terminology, its linguistic formation and meaning. Students will be able to use medical textbooks and other literature independently and communicate with members of medical professions in their future career field.
 
Students will be familiar with the physiological processes in the 4 large systems of the human body and their interaction, in particular the functions of the nervous system and the sensory organs, based on properties at the cellular and tissue level. They will be familiar with initial clinical applications.
