Course description and aims
Advanced Biomaterials Engineering involves introduction to anatomy of human tissues and organs, biomaterials science, artificial organs, prosthetic deviｃes, and in vitro living models using microfluidic devices. Biomaterials include polymeric, ceramic, metallic, and other biomimetic materials. At the end of this course, students will be able to: 1) Explain biomaterials. 2) Have an understanding of living body and its reactions, design biomaterials for research and medicine. 3) Design and experiment or draw up research plans, collect and analyze the data obtained , and produce reports based on the findings. 4) Prepare overviews of previously conducted researches, identifiy issues, and propose solutions.
Student learning outcomes
By the end of this course, students will be able to:
1) Use the techniques and modern engineering tools for basic and clinical biomedical study.
2) Understand the properites and applications of biomaterials, both natural and synthetic.
3) Understand the interactions between biomaterials and the human body.Understand how to use biomaterial engineering.
