Aim:
In this course, the student gets an opportunity to develop and apply previously acquired knowledge related to devices and materials in biomedicine, by working in a project according to the CDIO model. This work is performed in groups of more than two students.
After this course, the student should
- show increased capability to work in groups, with shared work tasks and responsibilities.
- be able to independently, and with a scientific approach, plan scientific work and collect, process, interpret and present research data.
- be able to independently author an advanced project report in English.
- be able to independently find, use and present knowledge from scientific journals, reports and books.

Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Previous courses within the Engineering Biology programme.
Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Organisation:
Project work in groups and individual assignments. There may also be guest lectures or study visits. The course follows the "Conceive Design Interact Operate (CDIO)" initiative at LiU, where the project model "Linkoping Interactive Project Steering (LIPS)" is used. Following a few introductory lectures in the beginning, the rest of the course is based on self studies. Students are organized in groups, and devote most of their time to a research project, developing and testing devices and/or materials relevant in biomedicine in a research lab. Project work will be performed in groups of 4-6 students, under the guidance of a researcher from IFM.
The course runs the entire spring semester.
|
|
Course contents:
Contemporary research problems related to devices and materials in biomedicine. The project is a commission to the project group according to the CDIO model and typically contains both theoretical and practical elements.
|
|
Course literature:
Literature from previous courses within the profile "Devices and materials in biomedicine" as well as scientific articles.
|
