In September 2004 Delft University of Technology starts the new two-year MSc program in Biomedical Engineering. This program is directed towards the education of technically high-skilled engineers, who have additional medical and biological knowledge, experience with applications in the medical field and with the multi-disciplinary collaboration with physicians and other medical researchers. The program is focused on ‘clinically driven’ research. The Biomedical Engineer should be able in collaboration with a physician to transform concepts into research questions, or into the design of a assistive devices or measurement instruments. Research-oriented as well as design-oriented MSc students will be educated. The Biomedical Engineer should be able to read medical literature, and conceptualize the theories and data into technical models. The education to Biomedical Engineer will emphasize the multidisciplinary character of the field
