Objectives of the Course • Providing a comprehensive overview of 3D biofabrication and tissue engineering with current and future perspective.
• Showing the different side of mechanical engineering including health care and quality of life by developing advanced biomedical products for tissue repair and replacement
Course Content This course is a multidisciplinary course that combine engineering, chemistry, materials science, biology, and medicine. It delivers information mainly biofabrication, biomaterials, tissue engineering, and additive manufacturing.
This course aims to provide insight in the opportunities of additive manufacturing technologies, three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting techniques, types of biomaterials, application of bioprointing and pre-and post-processing of bioprinting, challenges of process, limitation of bioprinting and its future perspective. The course includes theoretical coursework highlighting state-of-the-art, homework’s, group project and exams.
