The aim of the course:
This course familiarizes the student with relevant material issues and highlights the process for matching material performance with the design of a particular medical device. The students knowledge of biomaterials will be increased, and an appreciation for the relationships between a materials structure, its properties, and the implementation of properties to achieve a desired functionality will be developed. Failure analysis approaches are discussed (theory and practice) to enhance students knowledge on biomaterials.
 
Programme OutcomesCTPOTOA
Upon successful completion of the course, the students will be able to :
PO - 1 : Discuss the interaction between living tissue and biomaterials.1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,121
PO - 2 : Characterise biomaterials according to their biocompatibility and their chemical and physical stability.1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,121
PO - 3 : Select suitable biomaterials for a particular design or application1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,121
PO - 4 : Ability to prepare a technical report on the properties of biomaterials1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,121
