BMM 309 aims to convey the following subjects to junior Biomedical Engineering undergraduates: Expertise areas and purposes of Tissue Engineering, why tissue engineering is needed, what have been achieved to date, what are the methods for tissue repair or regeneration, scientific research and clinical applications.
1. Understanding in general terms why tissue engineering is needed and what could be achivied through tissue engineering
2. Knowledge about the methods used in tissue engineering, the stages of their development, understanding their contribution to tissue repair, and the application of engineering knowledge while considering biological limitations, engineering principles, and ethics.
3. Investigation of the relationship between systems and living/non-living materials
4. Gaining the ability to keep up with rapid developments in the field of tissue engineering
