Course description and aims
Biological functions are lectured from mechanical viewpoints. This lecture also relates diversity and polysemic characteristics of biological systems as well as their rationality and exquisite mechanisms.
Student learning outcomes
Students will understand biological characteristics that are different those of artificial things.
Keywords
Scaling, Biological tissues, Remodeling, Biological system, Specific factor
Competencies that will be developed
| ✔ Specialist skills | Intercultural skills | Communication skills | Critical thinking skills | ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
Class flow
A mini test will be held for check of comprehension in the each lecture. Homework related to the lecture will be also assigned .
