and Integration with the discussion over Operating Plan and Financial Models

HL2032 Medical Engineering, Project Course 9.0 credits

As an engineer you need to be able to integrate skills and knowledge from different courses within this programme. It is also expected from you to be able to construct a product or prototype from a given, not completely finished, specification of requirement, both as participant and as a project manager. To manage this you will also need to acquire new information and knowledge, which is a life-long process.

AK2011 Technology and Ethics 4.0 (7.5) credits

Our point of departure will be practical ethical problems.
