Pedagogiset toimintatavat ja kestävä kehitys

In the course, the basic topics of health technology are studied. The examples and tasks contain specific examples. The study course uses source material in English, which gives students the ability to understand international engineering literature, publications, standards, etc. When solving assignments, students are encouraged to work in a team. Digital study material and an electronic learning environment are used in a variety of ways in the course.

- Weekly face-to-face meetings with lecture teaching and small group work
- Learning by doing and experimenting (exercise tasks, project work, information search)
- Small group work and peer learning
- Self-study material
- Teacher guidance and examples

Sustainability is integrated in the implementation topics.

Toteutuksen valinnaiset suoritustavat
