Electrical Engineering is about many things that are essential parts of people’s lives. Health care is an application area of electrical engineering which has seen a rapid development over the last decade. The purpose of the Care & Cure track is to teach students to work independently on complex health-care related research and design projects with the ability to rethink existing concepts and develop new ones. In the final phase of the program students will be able to present the results of their work to an international community.
