Biomedical manufacturing is currently a rapidly growing industry, brought by the globalization and the technology advancement. It can be viewed as the application of manufacturing technology to biomedical products, with the significant improvements in quality, safety and efficiency. However, the development process is often multidisciplinary and time-consuming.

This course aims to provide the essential knowledge in the biomedical product development (e.g. material properties, fabrication processes and design techniques for different applications) in order to provide ways to speed up the product development cycle. This course is multidisciplinary and covers the principles in mechanical, chemical, biological, and physiological aspects. Students can learn the techniques to apply the acquired knowledge for particular applications they are interested. Further, this course emphasizes also on inspiring students to discover and convert newly reported technologies into products/services for the future development of biomedical applications.
