Biomedical Engineering The Technical University of Kosice (TUKE)

Overview

Second degree graduates in the Mechanical Engineering from The Technical University of Kosice (TUKE) the issues of the basics of functional anatomy, biomechanics, the basics of construction and technical drawing. At the same time, they have knowledge of materials used in the fields of technical and bioengineering sciences. Graduates are qualified to work in various areas of technical and biomedical focus.

• are able to integrate knowledge and creatively approach solving problems of medical and biomedical practice, as well as more demanding tasks, which are in the context of the graduated Biomedical Engineering programme

• they know how to use the acquired knowledge and creatively solve problems resulting from the interdisciplinary focus of the Biomedical Engineering programme with a spillover into other fields

• are able to handle solutions to complex problems and formulate alternative solutions for the upcoming decision-making process with incomplete or limited information

• are able to attain at an optimal solution by using methods, techniques and a systemic approach to solving problems

• have developed educational skills that determine their further professional growth in the third degree of study, or self-study in practice,

• they will be able to use modern software tools (MATLAB, Solid Works, specialized software for medical modeling and implant design, etc.) to solve construction and engineering tasks

• they will have the prerequisites to become coordinators of development teams after gaining practical management experience, especially in the clinical and bioengineering space

• they will gain experience with the formulation of hypotheses, experimental design, verification of hypotheses and analysis of obtained data

Employability
