1. Introduction

1.1 General characteristics of Medical engineering and physics sciences Study program “Medical engineering and physics” is comparatively young in Europe.

The program’s implementation in technical universities is connected with hot-tempered development of medical technique manufacturing. For the first time the programs of that ilk had been discussed in Europe in 1995 at international scientific conference “Medical Radiation Physics” in Budapest but in 1999 RTU coordinated European Tempus project “S_JEP-12402-97” – “Baltic Biomedical Engineering and Physics MSc courses”

Medical engineering is formed up to unify two dynamic professions – engineering and medicine. The responsibility of medical engineering specialists is related with implementation in practice of medical equipment and instruments.

Biomedical engineers and medical physicists using several physical principles (electrical, mechanical and optical ect.) can deeply understand biological (human and animals) systems. These specialists can design and produce equipment and systems, the using of which can control physiological function of organisms. These equipments are unalienable components for diagnostic and treatment of diseases.

Medical engineering contains several disciplines as: Biomechanics, that contains integrated static and flow studies of physiological systems; Biomaterials, that is related to development of bioimplantant materials design and manufacturing Physiological modeling, simulation and control, where the using of computer modeling have involved perception of correlation of

physiological processes; Biosensors, that comprise fixation of biological processes and its transformation into electrical signals; Biomedical equipment that develops the measurements and observations of physiological processes involving to biosensors. The medical and biological analysis that contains determination, classification and analyzing of bioelectric signals; Rehabilitation engineering, that related to creation and evolving of therapeutical and rehabilitical equipment and procedures; Prostheses and artificial organs, those creation and development for substitution or restoration of body function; Medical informatics, that point is processing of data acquired from patient, interpretation of results and establishing of clinical diagnosis; Imaging in medicine what comprise imaging to graphic display of anatomical structures and physiological functions; Biotechnologies and tissue engineering to create and modify biological materials for medicinal purpose; Clinical engineering that contains design, installation and servicing of clinical equipment, instruments and systems. Medical micro – and nano technology etc.

Medical physics is inwrought with radiation therapy, nuclear medicine, diagnostic radiology and radiation protection in medicine. Using a great many legislations of physics, medical physics explain biological effect of radiation to human body.

From above-mentioned consequent the way of biomedical engineer is wide:

39


Research in new materials for implanted artificial organs; Development of new diagnostic instruments for blood analysis; Computer modeling of the function of the human heart; Writing software for analysis of medical research data; Analysis of medical device hazards for safety and efficacy; Development of new diagnostic imaging systems; Design of telemetry systems for patient monitoring; Design of biomedical sensors for measurement of human physiologic systems variables; Development of expert systems for diagnosis of diseases; Design of closed-loop control systems for drug administration; Modeling of the physiologic systems of the human body; Design of instrumentation for sports medicine; Development of material to be used as replacement for human skin; Development of new dental materials; Design of communication aids for the handicapped etc. For those specialists specific education is indispensable.

RTU is the first university in Latvia and Baltic States, which initiates a study program in medical engineering and physics in order to obtain the second level professional higher education. The copies of RTU registration as an education institution certificates are given in annex..

1.2 The place of the program in RTU, information about creator of the program

2.2.2. Estimation of the program from the employers’ point of view

The inquiry form of polling of employer is in supplement Nr.6. To appreciate readiness to scientific and practical work of students from professional program “Medical engineering and physics” is appreciated as good. However nevertheless the practical skills are insufficient. The time of practice is approvingly appreciated, that composes approximately one semester. During this time the student can take a hard look with nuance of feasible work, and the students click deficiency of knowledge. Responsibility sensation, discipline, purposefulness, enterprise and desire to study of students are highly appreciated. The communicability and common activity is achieved not so high assessment. The employers recommend to organize practical excursions, that will be organized for students to choose interesting for them institution and work direction of

45


practice. Moreover it is necessary to organize the buzz session with students and employers. Wherewithal the intermediate academic personal - student - employer - graduate will be constructed.

As a result of polling the acquired answers testify, that overall assessment of the students and employers of the studying program is positive. A great amount of admonishments is considered more. But the rest mentioned destitutions would prevent in the foreseeable future (see table 9.).

2.3. Comparison of studying program with analogues programs of other states universities

The studying program like that is taking shape in all European State greatest technical universities. To compare the second level higher professional educational program of Riga Technical University the following programs are elected: The 9 semester program “Biomeciziniche Materialen” of Martina Luther Halle – Witenberg University (Germany); The 8 semester program “Physikalische technik” of Mitveida Professional University (MPU) (Germany); The professional program “Medical engineering” and “Biomedical engineering” of Eindhoven Technical University (ETU) (Netherlands); The program “Medical engineering and physics” of London Kings College (LKC) (UK); The program “Medical technology” of Lubeck University (LU*) (Germany)

To batch information about the programs of foreign countries, where are getting ready as follows specialists, is established: 1. The studying programs are varied, with varied duration of studies as well as varied diapasons of courses and credit points;2. The correspondent programs of numerous universities do not steady limited, the various cast of subjects and credit points between bachelor

programs is existed. The comparison between above-mentioned programs is given in table 3, there is obvious the programs of the above-mentioned

universities does not differ a lot that is explained with specific of the universities. Large number of foreign countries universities has programs with steady stated narrow specialization. As these narrow specialization programs overall are costs very dear, RTU chiseled programs “Medical engineering and physics” is universal, that gives basic knowledge in the field of medical engineering and medical physics and further for the new specialist, who are working in particular specialization, would not raise the problems to obtain collateral knowledge in concrete direction. Wherewithal we can say that the suggested studying programs “Medical engineering and physics” of Riga Technical University correspond to the similar programs of European States technical higher institutions.

2.4.1. Arrangement of elaboration, acceptance and confirmation of the studying program Elaboration of the studying programs in Faculties and Institutes of Riga Technical University is performed according to Decision of RTU

Senate 25.02.02. Nr 465, that established that all studying programs are accepted by Senate of RTU and under writing instructions of pro-rector. For the acceptance the programs and their descriptions have to submit for Senate. Before acceptance Senate the Department of Studying is organizing the conformity expertise of studying program to RTU laws and regulations.

At the time of studying the list of teachable subjects consist of the titles of disciplines and quantity essential studying in credit points. On basis of studying programs, every year the plans of studies is formed, where the title of subject with appropriate code, responsible of

discipline, for studying provided cast of lesions and projects for semesters, as well as kind of trial are given. The studying plans for every studying year certify the council of BINI and prescribe instructional pro-rector. According to 25.03.96 Decision of RTU Senate the studying plans can form determining varied quantity of credit points, but totally one studying year can not exceed 42 credit points (KP), except for the students, who weighted-average point is nothing less than eight, is permissible additional studies no more then 5% from minimal volume of corresponding program. Total volume of studies for all students should be not less than minimal volume, but because of various free choices studying subjects can exceed no more than 2 KP.

2.4.2. Interconnection of RTU divisions in realization of program

Formation of studying program “Medical engineering and physics” is participated by academical personal of Riga Technical University and Riga Stradins University.

Training of the first year students is organized unitary the Department of new course in RTU Faculty of Transport and Mechanical Engineering.

2.4.3. Leadership democratic principles of the program

The leadership of studying program, those implementation democratic principles provided Constitution of RTU. The RTU Constitution is accepted 24.05.01in academic assembly meeting of RTU and confirmed 05.07.03 in Saeima. The 5 section states that collegiate management authority and decision-making institution of personal is Senate that accepts procedure and regulations regulating all sphere of activity in RTU. Senate has 17,5% contingent of full time studious, that are elected by self-government of students proportionally to the number of students, in consideration of each faculty should have 1 representative. The students in Senate have veto rights for the questions that applied interests of the students. Wherewithal all questions in RTU Senate, that applied interests of students, have passed democratically, considering the interests of students. The board of faculties and institutes has also studious contingent that helps considering proposals of studious to develop the studying programs and plans. For improvement of training quality of studying programs “Medical Engineering and Physics” has manage polling of students, employers.

49


2.4.4. Alternative facilities of studying subjects

MK 20.11.2001 Nr. 481 “Provisions for State Standard of Second Level Professional Higher Education” is establishing alternative facilities of studying courses. According to these documents the program has required alternative and free choice disciplines.

Registration to required alternative and free choice disciplines for new studying year takes place from 01.04. to 01.05 in the current studying year. After this time-limit registration is probably only for a valuable consideration.

The obligatory content of program “Medical Engineering and Physics” is providing totality of knowledge, skills and regards that is essential for realization of professional activity. Field appropriate humanitarian, social, natural sciences, informational technologies, management and basic theoretical knowledge are proposed. Besides that more than 30% from the total volume of studying course is realized practically.

Collateral possibility for students to deal with physical training, sport and health recruitment is offered. For the students, whose command of state language does not meet the requirements of RTU, collateral training of Latvian is provided.After graduating of professional bachelor studying program the students have possibility to enter professional master program.

2.5. Practical realization of studying program

2.5.1. Criterion of assessing education, the forms of inspection and procedure

In all levels and directions of the program the knowledge of students is evaluated after acquired of courses two times a year – in winter and spring sessions. In this time the students pass exams according to their individual plans that are aligned with students and confirmed by BINI director and FTME dean. The individual plans are composed according to programs, plans and proposals of students.

In the disciplines, which include studying and laboratory works, students execute and defend reports. For defending of studying works the students receive points, but for defended laboratory works – test. Usually humanitarian and social disciplines are competed with test. Information about all settled tests, studying works and examinations is declared in individual studying plans.

CriterionThe basis of assessing criterion is knowledge of fundamental, general, obligatory, alternative, humanitarian-social and economical

subjects acquired level assessed with 10 points system. The bachelor degree and engineer qualification will confer, if bachelor thesis and engineering design project is successfully defended and

the rest of the program is performed with good appreciation.

The forms of inspection

50


Acquired knowledge and comprehensive skills are assessed by examination and valid results, as well as studying works, practice bachelor thesis and engineering design project defending results.

The special qualification commission appreciates acquired education, where the specialists and experts from medical engineering companies participate. The commission is working according to RTU requirements.

Professor or docent responsible for presentation of the course prepares examination questions according to the program of the subject. The students are taking examinations in written form, as determined by RTU Senate 26.01.98 “About taking examinations in RTU”. Verbal examination the students elicit examination questions, could be passed knowing few themes. At the examination in written form the students have questions, what in outline comprised all themes of the course, this form enabled to assess more objectively the knowledge of students. The 10 points system is applied to assess the knowledge, where “6” is the lowest successful point. The large number of course has intermediary examinations or colloquium and tests in order to ascertain what questions present difficulties for students and request additional consultative. Some lectors apply in practice the analytical assessing system – the assessment arranged considers not only the answers of examination, but also results of colloquiums, tests, studying and home works during all the semester. If a student had not passed his individual plan during the session or 10 days after winter session and up to the 10th of September after spring session then the student is unsuccessful. Examination session passing is allowed for unsuccessful students, but no more than 2 semester in one course could not been. The student is subtracted, if have not settled 5 and more trials. If student after session extra-time have arrears more then one course, but that total number do not exceed 4, in order to continue studies the student have to pay according to Decision of RTU Senate for every unsettled subject additional studying 12,- Ls. For arrears in one course the students have not paid. Recurrent taking of national examination cost 24,- Ls, but defending of bachelor thesis and engineering design project - 36,- Ls. The students, without results taking examination at one and the same subject 3 times, have subtracted from list of students.

Qualification commission of RTU evaluates the Obtained education, where the high-qualified specialists from medical engineering companies as well as academic personal from RSU are working. The commission is formed by council of BINI and accepted by rector of RTU no at the latest 1 month before determined date of project and bachelor thesis defending. The chairman, secretary and not less than 3 members should contain the commission. The membership of the commission is a specialist in the sphere of medical engineering and physics having basic work not in RTU.

2.5.2. Description of the applied studies methods and forms

Laboratory works The laboratory works have been organized according to studying plans and documents of the lessons planning, and are taking place in

Evaluation requirementsAll laboratory experiments have to be completed. Exam has to be passed in due time.

State-of-the-art:Measurements are required elsewhere to obtain quantitative information on surrounding world. Most of medical diagnostic equipment relies on measurements. Adequate measurements methods with previously evaluated uncertainty have to be selected to provide useful diagnostic information. That is why medical equipment engineer has to be aware on measurement technique, technology and limitation to design medical measurement devices.

Requirements to students to prepare for the next classesFor lectures: revise previous topics; revise selected topics on mathematics and electronics (on teacher advice)Laboratory experiments: preparation of measurement protocol (includes theoretical foundation for the experiment, description of processing, table for measurements results).

Topics for discussionAppearance of the measurement errors and uncertainties; methods to reduce uncertainties; principal limitation of measurement accuracy; role od measurements in medicine.
