Course Methods and Techniques
|
This course will employ an interdisciplinary approach that combines theoretical lectures, literature-based analysis, discussion-driven learning, and project-based applications. The content of the course, reflecting the integration of bioengineering principles with fundamental biological, physical, and chemical sciences, will be presented through instructor-led lectures supported by visual materials, conceptual diagrams, and case studies. Topics such as cell architecture, gene and protein structures, system physiology, stem cell biology, drug delivery systems, biomaterials, nanotechnology, and tissue engineering will be explored in-depth, with a focus on current scientific advancements.
To enhance students' advanced thinking and analytical skills, problem-based learning (PBL) and case study methods will be utilized. Students will be expected to develop project designs that propose interdisciplinary solutions to contemporary challenges in bioengineering, presenting their findings both orally and in writing. Additionally, the course will include literature reviews, scientific presentations, and critical analyses of research papers to foster students' abilities to engage in scientific inquiry, research, and communication.
Discussion-based sessions will ensure active student participation, especially in areas such as stem cell therapies, smart biomaterials, or nanobiotechnological applications, encouraging the development of critical thinking skills. This multifaceted teaching approach aims not only to provide students with foundational knowledge but also to develop their ability to think innovatively, analyze complex bioengineering problems, and apply these solutions in real-world contexts.
