Summary
Introduction to biomedical materials for biomedical devices, biomaterials & bio-compatibility. This course introduces students to the fundamental principles and concepts of biomedical materials, including biomaterials and bio-compatibility. The course covers topics such as the properties of materials, selection criteria for biomedical devices, and the design and testing of biomedical materials. Chapter 1 : Introduction to Biomaterials and Biomedical Devices, application, challenges into biomedical engineering research Chapter 2 : Mechanical engineering to biomaterial, Properties of Biomaterials, Biocompatibility, biodegradability, Surface properties, Modification techniques Chapter 3 : Selection Criteria for Biomedical Devices (GrantaANSYS), Design considerations for biomedical devices, Regulatory and safety considerations Chapter 4 : Types of Biomaterials, Metals and alloys, Ceramics and glasses, Polymers and composites, Natural biomaterials (new lecture in 2023) Chapter 5 : Research in biomaterial

Pedagogy
This course is delivered through a combination of lectures, group discussions with surgeons, and hands-on activities with faculty of medicine, labs and hospitals. Students will be expected to read actively reference in discussions and activities. Case studies into GrantaANSYS. Apply the concepts learned in class to a specific biomedical device or application in the transdisciplinary projects proposed in Semesters2 and 3.
