LEARNING OUTCOMES
Student learns the basics of the working principles of the research and selected reliability and testing methods used in the field of bioadaptive technology. Student understands how these principles can be applied to design portable point-of-care and lab-on-a-chip devices. Concept of translational utilization of the research method principles to develop health and well-being solutions is awakened. Student realizes the process steps that are needed from the first idea of a product to the commercialization of a medical device. Students cultivate both their technical knowhow and personal skills of an engineering expert needed in the work life in the field of bioadaptive technology.
