Abstract :
This short paper describes a Master´s program design to meet the educational demand for body parts making, both from physiological and non-physiological nature (prostheses). The paper gives a new definition of an organ to allow both types of human body parts. It also introduces the concept of Engineered Physiology in the educational system.
