Relationship with Educational Objectives :
This class is equivalent to "(1) Cultivate human creative talent, rich in practical abilities".
Relationship with JABEE programs :
The main goals of learning / education in this class is "(A) ..., A-1.
Course outline :
Bioengineering has expanded not only to the fields of life science such as biology, medicine and agriculture, but also to bioengineering based on mechanical engineering. The core technologies are genetic engineering, tissue engineering and biomimetics. In this lecture, we will systematically explain from the basic explanation of these to the applied technology.
Style:
Course method :
I will explain the main points while explaining on the board etc. based on the handouts. Timely, report assignments will be given according to the content of the lesson, and review and self-study will be encouraged. This course is a second-half course.
Grade evaluation method :
The score of the final exam (70%) is evaluated by adding the reports up to each regular exam (30%). No retest will be conducted.
Notice:
Precautions on the enrollment :
This is a class that requires study outside of class hours. A total of 45 hours of study is required per credit, including both class time and study outside class time. Follow the instructions of the instructor regarding study outside of class hours.
Course advice :
I will explain from the basics so that you can understand even if you do not have basic knowledge of biology, so if you are interested in it, please take it.
Foundational subjects : Biology (1st year), Chemistry I (2nd year), Chemistry II (3rd year), Applied Biology (4th year)
Related subjects : Applied Chemistry (4th year)
Attendance advice : Strictly adhere to the deadline for report assignments. Treat as absent when half of the class time has passed. If you have any questions about the lecture or anything related to it, please actively ask questions and deepen your understanding.
