| Course objective | The main aim of this course is to teach nanotechnology and nanomaterial detection properties and the basic principles of new-generation sensing devices with an interdisciplinary perspective. In the course, science and engineering knowledge will be discussed to understand the basic physical properties of nantechnology-based sensing devices. Students will understand the properties of these devices and how they can be used in new applications. In addition, they will be expected to apply related knowledge they have learned in the course to a subject they are interested in. Another aim of this course is to develop creative, innovative and critical thinking, which can be defined as the basic element in interdisciplinary studies. It is aimed to overcome the ?tunnel effect? and to produce new creative ideas by supporting the group work of students from different undergraduate departments. | |||||
