In this course, students are introduced to the principles of analysis and product development in order to effectively solve technical and design challenges.In the first part, general principles and considerations are considered, and in the second, application to real challenges.

1. Describe the principles of operation, conditions and possibilities of use and the expected application of medical design solutions
2. Apply the analysis of the functional decomposition of products in biomedical engineering
3. Breakdown problems into simpler tasks and recommend activities to solve them
4. Use modelling techniques of technical systems and processes in the function of creative solution of complex problems of biomedical engineering
5. Argue the results of conceptual solutions of the technical system
