Abstract :
A rising demand for specialists in measuring and diagnostic systems (MDS) able to apply multidisciplinary knowledge from medicine, theory of measurements, automation and physics was the stimulus for launching a course in this field for students of biomedical engineering at Wroclaw University of Technology. The course was to provide training in medical system design, development and implementation, and cover the topics of general mathematical models of the phenomena, data acquisition, data processing, interpretation and result visualisation. The main aim was to link modern technology with the traditional measurement approach to biological quantities. During the course students are presented with real-world problems from the field of medicine. This article outlines the course curriculum and its Web-centric approach to laboratory equipment
