- Abstract:
- Modern university education is very strongly based on computer techniques, which provide necessary computational power to develop specialized software. Very intuitive graphical programs became indispensable tools for word and graphics processing, data storage, and advanced computational tasks. An increasing role of information availability from the data stored on web pages and network accessible data bases can be observed. This immense potential source of information requires appropriate searching tools and algorithms. In this situation a well-scheduled track through computer science courses, for students of various specializations, is an essential issue. This problem is especially acute in education in Biomedical Engineering since application of computer methods to medicine, computational biology, and bioinformatics requires an approach that differs from classical methods. We discuss concepts and techniques in teaching computer science courses, comparing three specializations from the Faculty of Basic Problems of Technology in Wroclaw University of Technology: Biomedical Engineering, Computational Physics in Science and Technology, and Mathematical Aspects of Computer Science.
