Biomaterials 2

Uitgebreide vaknaam	Biomaterials 2
Leerdoelen	At the end of the course, the student is able to: 1) understand the current developments within biomedical research concerning biomaterials 2) understand basic concepts for biomaterials design 3) critically assess the value of results given in current literature concerning biomaterials research 4) identify the novelty and drawbacks of developed biomaterials research presented within literature 5) critically provide feedback on biomaterials related literature 6) present own formulated ideas to the peers about biomaterials related research 7) design a novel biomaterials related clinical application
Omschrijving	Biomaterials 2 elaborates on Biomaterials 1 (BME Bachelor's programme) in which the basic knowledge was obtained regarding Biomaterials. Biomaterials 2 presents more elaborate applications of polymers, molecular species, inorganic materials and incorporates relevant cell biological structures in biomedical areas and biomedical applications. The focus is more on current strategies and critical approaching literature on validity and clinical relevance. Topics include nanomaterials/nanomedicine, tissue engineering, implant technology & coatings, biodegradable polymers, all with a strong clinical character. The basic lectures are given by the lecturer and additionally the students teach each other by providing presentations on review papers together with a self-chosen research paper on the specific topic that was discussed during the basic lecture.
Uren per week
Onderwijsvorm	Bijeenkomst (S), Hoorcollege (LC), Opdracht (ASM)
Toetsvorm	Opdracht (AST) (The assessment consists of 3 assignments per group (group members is rotating). For 2 assignments a presentation needs to be given that highlights a few standard questions that will be illustrated by a review and a self-chosen research paper on a specific topic. The 3rd assignment is an explanimation on a design of a biomaterial-related clinical application that needs to be pitched to the peers. Final grade: Assignment 1 (20%), Assignment 2 (30%, Assignment 3 (50%). Pass grade: Final grade 5.5 or higher)
