| Unaided Work: | Individual work of the students will mainly be organised conducting 2 practical works, preparing laboratory work protocols, as well as getting prepared for the seminar and test at the end of the semester. In order to evaluate the quality of the study course as a whole, the student must fill out the study course evaluation questionnaire on the Student Portal. | ||||||||
| Assessment Criteria: | Five online tests before each lecture or practical classes on the topics of previous lectures/practical classes. Test: an online test to check the knowledge of terminology, understanding about the physical and mechanical properties of biomaterials and their theoretical and practical applications. | ||||||||

| Learning Outcomes | |||||||||
| Knowledge: | Students will acquire theoretical knowledge about the structure and physical properties of crystalline substances, metal alloys, polymers and composites; about the resistance of materials, biomechanical properties of biological tissues and methods for the determination of physical properties of biomaterials. | ||||||||
| Skills: | Students will be able to use: concepts of biophysics and regularities in solving medical and biological tasks; regularities of deformation theory for comparative characterisation of mechanical properties of various biomaterials, as well as predict behaviour of biomaterials under influence of various factors (at static and dynamic load, change of external factor parameters). | ||||||||
| Competencies: | Will acquire theoretical and practical knowledge in biomaterial science, will be able to apply these methods in study, professional and research practice. | ||||||||
