COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES

This course aims to make the studentsmaster the knowledge in the cross area of biomechatronics, widen their eyesight, and develop their creativity ability. Let them learn how to design engineering products inspired from biology, and use engineering techniques to better serve the human beings.

The course is intended to provide students with the following benefits:

1. Comprehensive abilities on Biomechatronics product design based on interdisciplinary subjects. [A1,A5]

2. Knowledge on frontiers of Biomechatronics Engineering, deep understanding on some specific points. [A1,C2,C3]

3. Ability on Biomechatronics Engineering product analysis and development based on specific market and management skills. [A2,A3,C3]

4. Ability to coordinate multiple, interdisciplinary tasks in order to achieve a common objective. [BA,B2,C1]

5. Reinforce specific knowledge from other courses through practice and reflection in an action- oriented setting. [A1,A5]

6. Enhance team working skills. [B1,B2,C1]

Teaching style The classes will be given about 3 hours/week.

1 Normal lecture

2 Classroom demonstration and discussion

Students’ learning style

1. Students presentation during the session break

2. Report of a survey.

3.Presentation of a proposed idea.

Practice in Class

1 Class attendance 20% There are 2 times for practice with 2 Discussion in class 20% the topics on “Artificial tissue & 3 Survey report 20% organ” and “Orthopaedic implants” 4 Final project 40%

Method of Assessment:

Course activities are weighted in the following way:

Class attendance Attendance of students in class includes performance, discussion, in-class exercises and presentation. Class participation will be determined on the basis of your comments in each class session, and your completion of the exercise sheets handed in at the end of the lectures.

Some of the criteria that we will use to judge effective class participation include:

1. Is the participant a good listener?

2. Is the participant concise and articulate? 3. Are the points made relevant to the current discussion? Are they linked to thecomments of others?

4. Do the comments show clear evidence of appropriate and insightful analysis of the case?

Survey The students should select a topic interested in biomechatronic fields, and then make a literature survey. The students should provide their own comments in the survey.

Final Projects

Propose a new idea to design a novel biomechatronic product, and illustrate the idea in detail. Creativity is highly encouraged.
