The aim of this course is to provide an up-to-date introduction to the fascinating field of integrated biomedical engineering and technology. It covers the latest research and developments in integrated biomaterials: processing, properties, and applications. Included are molecular device materials, biomimetic materials, hybrid-type functionalized polymers-composite materials, molecularly imprinted materials and environmentally friendly materials. Further, all the important aspects dealing with the integrated technology involved in biomedical engineering, especially structure and properties, techniques and technological innovations. This interdisciplinary course is prepared for students and researchers from diverse backgrounds such as chemistry, materials science, physics, pharmacy, medical science, and biomedical engineering. The talks and course materials will give valuable insight in the major area of biomedical materials, and cutting-edge of medical technology. The interdisciplinary flora of the topics will help early career researchers, PhD, and master students to find interesting new projects/ research.
Duration of Course : 6 months
Course Contents
Number of lectures : 10, duration of each lecture: 2 hour, 1 + 1 hour lecture and discussion.
Course Schedule : March - August every year
Language of Course : English
Mode of Attendance : Online - Onsite Hybrid Setups
Course Fee : 1200 Euro (incl. tax)
Number of lectures: 10, (Course Coordinator will give lecture 1 and 2, lectures 3 - 11 will be given by the topical experts and course participants taking the course, 1 + 1 hour lecture and discussion); duration of each lecture: 2 hours. The students will be accountable for their lecture materials. Each student should discuss their lecture materials with Course Coordinator about 10 days days prior to the date of their lecture. The idea is to discuss student lecture materials with the Course Coordinator for suggestions and comments before the lecture. The examiner will send lecture materials of the course to each student at the beginning of the week. The student will prepare 5-7 sets of questions and send them to Course Coordinator by e-mail along with 5-10 key relevant literature two day before the lecture. The Course Coordinator will compile all questioners & literature and distribute to each course participant one day before the lecture.
All questioners & literature will be discussed during the discussion hour after the lecture. At the end of the lecture session, participants will complete a four-week homework assignment on the course topics (1-11) to write a comprehensive review article. All participants will discuss homework assignments with the examiner during the final examination. After the first three months of successful course lectures, the next three months will be carried out with the research assignment to write a high-quality quality review article. The course lectures will be held as per course schedule. The research assignment meeting will be conducted on a weekly basis with participants to discuss the progress and research direction for writing of review articles.
To write a high-quality review article on the trends in biomaterials: processing, properties, and applications; biomedical engineering research / medical technology; and innovation / national and international policy / and healthcare towards sustainable management.
Lectures : 10 x 2 = 20
Lecture preparation : 35
Preparation of participant lecture : 10 x 10 = 100
Homework assignment and final examination : 200
Total Time : 155 hours (study time) + 200 hours (homework assignment and final examination) = 355 hour = about 9 weeks = equivalent to 15 credits
Early career researchers, PhD, and master students pursuing research and/or degree in the chemistry, materials science, physics, pharmacy, medical science, and biomedical engineering.
Grading will be based on attendance and active participation in oral seminars and homework.
