| * The offering term is subject to change without prior notice | ||||||||
Course Aims | ||||||||
Micro and nanotechnology offers particular advantages to the biomedical field in many ways such as better uniformity, reliability, reproducibility, miniaturized implants, precise control, quick response, micro-texturing, less invasive and lower power requirements, etc. More than $1 trillion/year by 2020 in new technologies and products and 2 million jobs have been projected by such technology. The convergence of nanotechnology and biomedical sciences opens the possibility for a wide variety of biological research topics and medical uses at the molecular and cellular level. This course aims to introduce the modern multidisciplinary micro and nanotechnology for biomedical engineering to the students and get them prepared for the new industrial revolution led by rapid progress in these fields. It covers important topics in biomedical engineering-related micro and nanotechnology such as applications of micro and nanotechnology, fabrication procedures, nanotechnology-based drug delivery, implantable nanomaterials, micro and nanotechnology-based implantable medical devices, nanotechnology for bio-imaging, etc. | ||||||||
