Posting to the lecture: Fundamentals of Biomedical Engineering - Prüfungsnummer 9956432S

The biomedical technique or better the biomedical engineering deals with the solution of biological and medical problems by using scientific knowledge and methods.

The biomedical engineering is defined as the developmental science of all instruments, all facilities, all the establishment which is needed for prophylaxis, clinical diagnostics, therapy, medical rehabilitation, post rehabilitation support, and also in the medical research.

That means: This science is a large interdisciplinary area of expertise. In this field physicists, engineers, economists, technicians, physicians, chemists, and not least biologists, work closely together.

Biological organisms arise from self construction and self organization. This way of generation of living functional objects is a completely different type of technology than that of "normal technicians and Engineers

The "biological technique" (= technique of biological objects) differs from the "biologically determined technique" (= "normal technique"). Beside the fact of self assembly it can be stated, that the "biological technique" is real biological micro- and nano - technique.

Biomedical engineers and biomedical technicians differ themselves from the standard engineers and standard technicians by their knowledge of the hardware and methods especially used in medicine. Furthermore they have an extensive biological and medical knowledge base in this field.

It can be stated that this extensive biological and medical knowledge base is the mark of a true biomedical engineer or a true biomedical technician.

The lecture announced here wants to introduce into the topic mentioned above by specially selected themes of the biomedical engineering and biomedical technique. Furthermore this lecture wants to make also familiar to the biological knowledge base of "biological technique".

Especially the knowledge base to understand the generation of the so called electrical biosignals will be subject of this lecture.

This lecture also wants to introduce into the terminology and the way of thinking in biomedical engineering by a general and understandable way.
