Course objectiveBiomechanics, is the science of movement forces and the effects that are produced by these forces when applied on or inside biologic structures. This course aims to provide the students with information concerning human movements, material mechanics, biomechanic research, biomodels and simulations. 
Learning outcomes
  1. Knowledge on soft-hard specialized supportive tissue and the muscle-skeletal system,
  2. Learn different bio- and nanomaterials,
  3. Information on 3 dimentional artifical tissue formation which occurs when materials and cells are cultured together and will obtain
  4. Information on the biocompatibility of artificial tissues and obtain information on the possible immune reactions that may occur,
  5. Aware of the mechanical stress that will occur in response to physical activity and tissue mechanics
  6. Obtain knowledge on biosensors, biorobots and mechatronics,
  7. Obtain a basic level of accumulated knowledge from biomodelling and biomedical application-based treatment-oriented research
Course ContentMuscular-Skeletal system, basic physiological concepts, biomaterials, nanobiomaterials and smart molecules, formation of artificial tissue using stem cells, tissue-material interactions and biocompatibility, mechanics of fluidics, physical activity, biomechanical stres and tissue mechanics, computer supported design and biomodelling, biosensors, biorobots and mechatronics, biomedical applications and visualization systems, readaptation.
