Learning unit contents
The integrated project biomedical engineering consists of 3 parts
* contact program with biomedical industry in Belgium (organised together with the other masters in biomedical engineering of the fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles: http://biomed-days.ulb.ac.be/)
* soft skills training (presentation, creativity, team work, brainstorming, project organisation etc) in collaboration with ID Campus: http://www.idcampus.be/
* project work: the subjects of the projects will be defined by industrial, clinical or academic partners. Supervision will be taken care of by the academics most closely related to the subject and the partners that proposed it.
