Guest access
Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years, which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

-student recognizes that there are different ways of how concept "functional" or "smart" material are used in the literature, and what kind of justifications can be used

-student knows what kind of functional soft materials are currently envisioned for uses in the fields of biomedicine, renewable energy conversion, sensors, organic electronics, and coatings/substrates

-student knows what kind of methods can be applied for evaluating the environmental impacts of new materials and material fabrication processes

-student learns to prepare and present a presentation for a scientific meeting
