Agile in Biomechanics

The "Agile in Biomechanics" project aims to bridge academic research with societal needs by implementing practical projects that address real-world challenges, such as the loosening of implants. Through hands-on experiences, innovative solutions are developed and implemented.

This initiative emphasizes experiential learning and the application of agile methodologies, particularly Scrum, while fostering close collaboration with European partners. Academic knowledge is not only conveyed, but actual market needs are also addressed.

The curriculum includes cooperative problem-solving approaches and agile project management principles. Scrum is learned through practical applications, while biomechanics content is integrated through lectures and instructional videos. Biomechanical projects are tackled in Scrum teams, considering the requirements of stakeholders, including EUTOPIA partners. Throughout the semester, three sprints allow for iterative improvements to a demonstrator, culminating in a prototype presentation and evaluation by stakeholders. Additionally, funding for the project would enable excursions to industrial companies and research centers, enriching the learning experience.
