Course description and aims
"Life engineering" as interdisciplinary research fields become more important for solving the various problems associated with health, medical care, and environmental issues. The lecture provides an opportunity to learn the basic ideas, newly emerging technologies and applications in this field from the view points of material and chemistry. This is an introductory lecture for "Human Centered Science and Biomedical Engineering Course".
Student learning outcomes
At the end of this course, students will be able to:
(1) explain the basic ideas and cutting edge researches in "Life engineering" fields.
(2) acquire wide scope and learning motivation of "Life engineering" fields.
Keywords
Biomedical engineering, biosensor, biocompatibility, biomaterials, biochemical probe, biomedical polymer
Competencies that will be developed
| ✔ Specialist skills | ✔ Intercultural skills | Communication skills | Critical thinking skills | ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
Class flow
This lecture will overview the contents of (1) integration of bio and engineering, (2) biosensor, (3) biointerface science, (4) biomedical material, (5) bioorganic chemistry, (6) bBiomedical polymer, and (6) biochemical engineering.
Course schedule/Required learning
| Course schedule | Required learning | |
|---|---|---|
| Class 1 | Integration of bio and engineering | Life engineering or biomedical engineering as an integration of bio and engineering will be outlined in view of materials and chemical technology. |
| Class 2 | Biosensor | Understand sensors which are important devices in Society 5.0, in particular, the principles and applications for biosensors which are used for biomedical diagnosis. |
| Class 3 | Biointerface science | Students learn molecular processes at interfaces between the biological tissue and artificial materials/devices from the viewpoint of biocompatibility in the development of biomedical materials and biosensors. |
| Class 4 | Biomedical material | Students learn the basic materials science and applications needed to develop medical materials aimed at regenerating biological tissues using artificially prepared materials. |
| Class 5 | Bioorganic chemistry | Students understand organic synthetic chemistry of bilogically active small organic molecuels and synthetic technologies for the development of medical and drug discovery-assisted technologies. |
| Class 6 | Biomedical polymer | Students learn about polymer-based medical devices, and understand the characteristics and functions required of medical polymers from a chemical perspective. |
| Class 7 | Biochemical engineering | Students study the basic idea of cell functions and genetic engineering. Also learn newly emerging technologies of cell-based biosensor and synthesis of important substances using microorganisms. |
