Master of Science in Biomedical Engineering

Abstract: The mission of the BMEP is to provide excellent education and promote innovative research enabling students to apply knowledge and approaches from the biomedical and clinical sciences in conjunction with design and quantitative principles, methods, and tools from the engineering disciplines, to address human health related challenges of high relevance to Lebanon, the Middle East, and beyond. The program prepares its students to be leaders in their chosen areas of specialization committed to lifelong learning, critical thinking, and intellectual honesty.

Study on interdiscipline and architecture of safety science

Abstract: Safety science is a large comprehensive inter-discipline which studies the principles and applications of human safety activities.Its main concern is on what to be regarded as safe and how to become such safe.Intersecting with other disciplines in the same field,safety discipline produces some inter-disciplines which can neither be classified as discipline of natural science or that of social science,nor as discipline of vertical science or that of horizontal science.Because safety science discipline lacks exclusive field of its own,it should be analyzed and studied from the perspectives of its essential attributes(basic properties)such as scientific content,trend of development,causing,object of study,system and configuration,intersection relationship with other disciplines,et al.Based on the classifying of its vertical science and the stratifying of its horizontal theory,the disciplinary system and configuration of safety science were brought forward,which consisted of eight sub-disciplines and four theoretic hierarchies.Safety science discipline was proved to be irreplaceable.Besides,it was a scientific discipline intersected by natural science,social science and science of technology,and it was also closely related to many disciplines such as of mathematics,the natural sciences,systematic disciplines,Philosophy,Social Studies,disciplines of thinking,et al.

Women in computer science : problems and solutions through technology

Abstract: This thesis studies the under-representation of women in the field of computer science. Previously published studies on the topic of women in computer science are examined in detail; specific problems and recommended solutions covered in these works are summarized and reviewed in a comprehensive fashion. In addition, this thesis focuses on ways in which existing computer technology can be used in order to increase the number of women in the field, as well as to improve the situation for women already working or studying in the area. In particular, online communication and data clearinghouses are examined as means of improving support for women in computer science. Furthermore, the topics of virtual reality and artificial intelligence are analyzed in terms of their relation to women in the field of computer science.
