Courses:

Module Responsibility:

Johannes Kreuzer

Admission Requirements:

None

Recommended Previous Knowledge:

Basics in Control, Basics in Physiology

Educational Objectives:

Professional Competence

Theoretical Knowledge

The lecture will introduce into the fascinating area of medical technology with the engineering point of view. Fundamentals in human physiology will be similarly introduced like knowledge in control theory.

Internal control loops of the human body will be discussed in the same way like the design of external closed loop system fo example in for anesthesia control.

The handling of PID controllers and modern controller like predictive controller or fuzzy controller or neural networks will be illustrated. The operation of simple equivalent circuits will be discussed.

Capabilities

Application of modeling, identification, control technology in the field of medical technology.

Personal Competence

Social Competence

Students can develop solutions to specific problems in small groups and present their results (e.g. during project week)

Autonomy

Students are able to find necessary literature and to set it into the context of the lecture. They are able to continuously evaluate their knowledge and to take control of their learning process. They can combine knowledge from different courses to form a consistent whole.
