Contribution au profil d'enseignement

This teaching focuses mainly on the development of the following skills:

  • To abstract, model and simulate complex physical systems encountered in biomedical applications (bioelectricity, biomechanics, flows, etc.)

  • To treat and analyze signals of any kind of signals: 1D, image, video, especially those coming from medical devices

  • To represent the fundamental biological mechanisms from the biochemistry of the cell to the functioning of the main systems of human physiology

  • Communicating in English in the field of engineering

Evaluation

Méthode(s) d'évaluation

  • Autre

Autre

The evaluation is done through a written exam and an oral project defense. The examination includes theoretical issues (restitution, development of concepts seen through examples and procedures) and practical questions.

Construction de la note (en ce compris, la pondération des notes partielles)

The mark is composed of 50% of the exam and 50% of the project defense.
