Biomedical engineering and virtual education

Abstract

This paper briefly presents Biomedical Engineering (BME) in the virtual education. BME is a relatively new and highly multidisciplinary field of engineering. Due to its versatility and innovativeness, BME requires special learning and teaching methods. Virtual education is an emerging trend in the higher educational system. Technologies, learning theories, instructions, tutoring, and collaboration incorporated in the virtual education can lead to effective learning outcomes. European Virtual Campus for Biomedical Engineering (EVICAB) is the platform, where traditional biomedical education is transferred to the virtual.
