It contains a tabular overview of the modules and courses and a detailed description of each module. The full time study is designed for 3 semesters (1½ years). The graduate-level courses cover mathematical, scientific and engineering knowledge focused on the field of biomedical engineering, a broad view on advanced topics of modern therapy and diagnostic technologies, and advanced knowledge of the management of biomedical technologies. Many courses include practical work with up-to-date software tools and hardware, e.g. in our research labs or at the hospital sites of our collaboration partners. In a mandatory scientific project the students are engaged in autonomous scientific studies in small groups. Enhanced soft skills are acquired in the seminars and during the lectures by intense discussions and small projects like preparation of presentations, posters and papers. In the master thesis, the students demonstrate their ability for autonomous scientific work at graduate level. The courses are held in English language. The degree “Master of Science” is a second degree qualifying for a profession. It entitles its holder to exercise professional work in the field of biomedical engineering. Graduates have the ability to independently acquire new fields of knowledge and to solve complex problems, even above the current state of knowledge, using scientific methods. Graduates are capable to isolate problems in a new area of expertise or such an area in development and to encircle the most probable solution approach. They have the continuing ability of composing new technical solutions and new process strategies in the field of biomedical engineering and to transfer these solutions into clinical use or in industrial production. They can work both in the areas of production or development of a company, in technical functions in a hospital or in research institutes. They are qualified to join a doctorate program subsequently of this program. Additional regulations are the study and examination regulations (Studien- und Prüfungsordnung) of the Hamburg University of Applied Sciences (HAW) and the Faculty of Life Sciences. The regulations and further information are accessible at the HAW websites, in particular at the sites of the Faculty of Life Sciences, Department Medizintechnik. 6 January 2011 Module and course structure Presence Module 1 Applied Mathematics CP Course Type SWS 5 Numerical Mathematics Data Acquisition and Processing sU 3 2 Data Acquisition and Processing 5 3 Microsystems and Robotics 7 5 6 7 8 Therapy Technologies Medical Data Systems Advanced Biosignal Processing Medical Image Processing Management of Medical 5 1.5 sU 1.5 Robotics Seminar Therapy Technologies 1 Therapy Technologies 2 Therapy Technologies 3 Sem. 2 4 Medical Data Systems sU 3 sU 2 4 8 7 Technologies 9 Biomedical Project 15 Biosignal Processing Signal Processing in imaging modalities Medical Image Processing Image Processing in Therapy and Diagnostic Market Perspectives Assessment Methodology 30 sU sU sU sU sU sU sU Module Seminar Sem.

Data and signals are simulated to make the theoretical relations understandable and better applicable. The students are able to … to apply statistical methods and to test the developed evaluation methods by simulation to get more reliable programs. Especially by such an approach subtle programming errors become obvious, which otherwise could be found hardly but distort the results much. That sensitizes students especially to such errors. Additionally the students are enabled by computer simulations to analyze measurement and processing techniques (signal sampling, averaging, statistical tests etc.) if some restrictive mathematical prerequisites (e.g. sampling theorem, normal distribution of random variables) are not exactly met in practical problems. Methods which provide reliable results in such cases are highlighted as robust procedures. to look for robust procedures / techniques. In practical applications the parallel acquisition and processing of measurands and the simultaneous reaction on user input is an essential requirement, which is difficult to understand and implement in text based programming languages. On the contrary the graphical programming environment of LabVIEW enables the students to design programs with parallel execution and synchronization which are easy to implement and understand. acquire and process data from real experiments correctly and scientifically founded.
