Content, progress and pedagogy of the module

The project is designed to cover a broad range of topics. It can be a theoretical or an experimental project dealing with all aspects relevant for manufacturing and engineering of biological/organic nanostructures.

Learning objectives

Knowledge

• Must have knowledge about how to design, model and manufacture different biological/organic nanostructures.
• Must be able to understand the fundamental concepts of engineering and design of nanostructures based on organic/biological systems.

Skills

• Must be able to apply the design, engineering and manufacturing concepts in order to predict and fabricate the desired organic or bio-nanostructures
• must be able to evaluate the different methods used for production, design, and engineering of nanobiostructures
• Compose a project report according to the norms of the scientific field, include relevant original literature, use correct academic language and communicate the project's research-based basis and problem and results in a coherent written and oral manner, including the connection between the problem formulation, the project's execution and the main conclusions.
• Evaluate and select relevant original literature and current scientific methods, models and other tools used in the project work, as well as assess the project's problem in relevant technical scientific context.

Competences

• Must have obtained the skills to design, model, fabricate and characterize nano-scale (bio)structures.
• Plan, implement and manage complex and unpredictable research and / or development tasks and assume a professional responsibility for conducting professional and interdisciplinary collaborations.
• Take responsibility for own academic development and specialization.
