Summer Semester 2025
Development of Medical Devices
Leipzig University and Anhalt University of Applied Sciences
The aim of the course is to provide an overview of the basic regulatory and technical requirements for the development and marketing of medical devices (MDs) in Germany and Europe. This will provide important impulses for later areas of work, such as planning of development steps, risk management, quality management and conformity testing. Based on the ICCAS research focus, students will deal with issues such as European directives, harmonization and classification of medical devices.

Systems Engineering
HTWK Leipzig
The focus of the module is on gaining practical experience of the development process for medical technology systems. After the introduction of the most important methodological contents in the lecture part, student project teams work on a complex task under their own responsibility. In this way, technical knowledge is consolidated and supplemented by practical experience of teamwork.
Studium generale: Engineering Technology for the Medicine of the Future (Ing4Med)
HTWK Leipzig
In a time of rapid technological developments, we are faced with the challenge of redefining the boundaries between medicine and technology. The Studium generale “Engineering Technology for the Medicine of the Future” approaches this topic from a reflective perspective and builds a bridge for exchange between research and teaching.
The Studium generale events offer an insight into new technologies that will profoundly change the future of medical care: Soft and continuum robotics are opening new doors for surgery by enabling more precise and less invasive procedures. Hyperspectral imaging promises to take diagnostics to a new level by providing detailed information about the condition of organs that cannot be captured using conventional methods. The operating room of the future will be revolutionized not only by advanced robotics, but also by connected and AI-powered technologies.
During the event series, participants will learn about these and other technologies and have the opportunity to apply them in laboratory environments. This hands-on approach will help to illustrate different areas of engineering technology and their importance for the medicine of the future.
