Description
Why study Design for Medical Technologies at Dundee?
The unique environments of medicine and biotechnology offer exacting challenges in the design of high technology products for use in these fields. Engineers and product designers involved in the development of new biomedical instrumentation, surgical tools or biotechnology products must understand the constrictions placed on them by this environment. As a result, bioengineering has been established as the fusion of engineering and ergonomics with a deep understanding of medical science.
Benefits of the programme include:
- Knowledge and understanding of medical and surgical engineering and technology
- Skills in research methods, communicatio…
