Content

PART IV: Sensor and biosensor applications
•              Sensor and biosensor applications: student presentations
•              Practical sessions on biomimetic and biosensor technology
 
The student chooses an international journal paper -  in interaction with the lecturer - related to a topic taught in the course, critically reviews this paper and presents this paper and related work described in literature to his fellow students by means of a powerpoint presentation. The small report consists of a summary of the paper including some comments and the handouts of the presentation.
The student gets actively involved in the construction and use of  biomimetic and biosensors in practical sessions. The results and findings are summarized in a concise report

Course Material

Journal papers, well documented manuals for the practical sessions
