Compensating essays and exercises
- Read the Ch. 2-3 of the book “Potential and Trends in Biomimetics”, make a 5 min video where
1) you introduce yourself (what is your background and what motivates you in this course)
2) you explaining what is biomimetics.
DL: 4th March, 10:00 am.Remembe to make all the normal Individual and Group Tasks too before the deadline, likeReflection IGroup Meeting 1. - Make a max. 10 min video (max. 200 MB) where you
1) introduce THREE biomimetic materials (which you have found from scientific papers)
2) explain what is their functionality
3) list what are the main material properties
4) explain what is its applicability in different applications and which properties and design environments are relevant for each application
DL: 17th March, 23:55.NOTE! If the file is too big (over 200 MB which is MyCourses limit), you may submit a link to your video here.
You can use for example
aaltofi-my.sharepoint.com
where you can upload your video and make it "public": then you can just copy-paste the link for example on Word and submit that.

As competing this exercise requires access to the software, and it is difficult with Mac, this exercise is not compulsory. I apologize for the slow information, as I did not realize that this was an issue for so large part of the group. Therefore, it cannot be a requirement for this course, and this task is voluntary.
Make the following Compensating Exercises (submit them as a one Word or pdf document):
1) Make 4 firts exercises (found in the attachment) by using CES Edupack program (can be found from cimputer classrooms of CHEM). The 5th exercise is so called demo exercise which we showed in the session, you can make it too (just for learning) as you can use this tool also in your Final Report...
CES Edupack program can be found from all the computers in the School of Chemical Technology's computer classrooms.
CES Edupack has also very good tutorial videos which will help you in these exercises:

- Based on the lecture slides and course book "Biological Adhesive Systems" (http://bib.fi/w15lLg ) write 3-4 pages reflection on the topic"Physical interfaces meets the organism: how to mimick adhesive systems found in nature?"Select 2-3 systems found in nature and concentrate on chemistry at the interfaces and theitr function in adhesive systems (and how they are mimicked synthetically).
Submit the essay in here, the deadline is extended to 6th May, 23:55 pm.
Remember to make all the normal Individual and Group tasks too.
- Expand your notes of self-healing, colour changing and slippery surfaces to an essay - find one scientific paper of each functionality (having biomimetic materials), i.e. 3 new papers and write min. 1 page / property.
Submit the essay in here, the deadline is extended to 6th May, 23:55 pm.

- Discuss with your group the peer feedback that was given in the contact session #7. After that, write a short list of action points needed to finalise the report. Submit the action point list here before final submission of the group work (17th May).Remember to make all the normal Individual and Group tasks too.
Make a video as a part of the Group Work which is embedded in the Group Work presentation (and it is shown by your group members during the presentation).
