Within the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture, the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering engages in research of international standing, focused on areas where the combination of staff excellence and experience together with available. The Biomedical Engineering research group has activities in three areas, Rehabilitation Engineering, Biomedical Signal Processing and Physiological Modelling. TheRehabilitation engineering work is mainly carried out at the Rehabilitation Engineering Research Laboratory in the National Rehabilitation Hospital, which is a unique collaborative venture between the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering and the Hospital. The group also has strong links with the Department of Human Anatomy and Physiology in UCD's Faculty of\par Medicine.

The Disability Officer co-ordinates the services and works in co-operation with all College Departments to include the needs of students with a disability in the provision of all services within the University. The UCD Disability Support Service is committed to providing an Equal Opportunities Learning Environment. The key objective of the Disability Support Service is to empower students with a disability to allow them full participation in University education, academically and socially. Within the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering, the Biomedical Engineering research group actively engages in research relevant to AAATE. The approach adopted by the group is to strike a balance between directed fundamental research and applied research. |
