Course Objectives
The aim of the BMM 205 course is to understand biomaterials used in the design of medical devices and biomaterials that can be used instead of soft and hard tissue. In this course, information is given about the applications of biomaterials in the human body and the interaction of different classes of materials with the human body. In addition, information is given about the tests and controls that must be done during the commercialization process of materials to be used in the human body.
Course Outcomes
1. To have general knowledge about biomaterials;
2. To have knowledge about general application areas of biomaterials;
3. To have knowledge about interaction of materials with body;
4. To gain scientific and technical infrastructure that can produce solutions to current technological problems encountered in Biomedical Engineering;
5. To analyze and design biomaterials using engineering methods.
6. To gain skills in researching, writing reports and presenting related subjects.
