Principles of Biomaterials Science

(3 Credits)

The course introduces students to the different basic aspects of materials science, chemistry, and engineering. Biomaterials have direct impact on modern society, and its ability to develop and use biomaterials is a measure of its technical sophistication and technological future. The lectures emphasize the theoretical background of all materials classes utilized in the most common engineering applications while assignments represent real-life problems in application of materials testing and characterization. This course prepares students for later, more specific biomaterials courses in our inventory.
