Sisällön jaksotus

The course consists of 2 parts.
- Part 1 : Biomaterials Processing (Manufacturing methods of different types of biomaterials), Schedule: Weeks 36-39, 2023
- Part 2: Bionanotechnology & specific theme; basic methods of preparation and how nanotechnology is utilised, e.g., in controlled drug delivery and diagnostics; Specific theme on personalised medicine. Schedule: Weeks 39-41.

The exam (covering both parts of the course) will be held X.XX.2023.

2-4 Students may conduct the whole module (15 ECTS) as research work, which has a tailored schedule. More details below in optional implementation.

Oppimateriaalit

The tasks are based on scientific articles/patents, and lecture materials provided in Itslearning.

Opetusmenetelmät

Individual tasks and team-based learning in groups, task reports in English, and the exam is directly related to the Group work and Individual Tasks. Information retrieval from Journal and Patent databases is an important part of the tasks.

Kansainvälisyys

Flipped learning: After individual work and individual task reporting, the emphasis is in the team-based learning by solving tasks and making question about unclear issues or issues of interest in groups in class, which is complemented by discussion with the instructor.

2-4 students may conduct the course by working in the the research group (New Materials and processes). This type of the implementation has to be agreed separate with the instructors. Generally it consists of lab work related to real research projects, reporting and appending the needed theory in the reports.

Toteutuksen valinnaiset suoritustavat

In the research work implementation, a separate learning agreement is signed, and separate instructions are provided for research work in lab, reporting and integration of theory into the reports.The reporting consists of weekly follow-up meetings and theory discussion, and of a group report or reports (will be agreed in the agreement). Deadline for the group report is January 15th, 2024. There is one possibility to raise the grade by returning a corrected report, which is based on the feedback from the instructors.
