By attending the course, students acquire the following skills. They are able to:
- Understand and explain the functions and structure of the skin and its receptors (mechanoreceptors, thermoreceptors, and nociceptors) as well as its mechanical properties. Furthermore, neuroimplants are introduced and discussed. (k1/k2)
- Understand and explain the mechanical and electrical properties of flexible, stretchable, and textile-based biomedical systems, in particular implants and sensors. (k1/k2)
- Understand and explain the nervous system and neuroimplants. (k1/k2)
- Understand technologies for the fabrication and characterization of sensors and implants. (k1/k2)
- Understand and explain soft actuators for prostheses and their biological role models (muscles, muscular hydrostats, plants, or invertebrates). (k1/k2)
- Become familiar with and interpret measurement data, characterization results, and biomedical data of sensors. (k3, k4)
- Evaluate and assess the application of these technologies. (k4, k5)

During the course, students acquire practical knowledge of the functions and mechanics of the skin, the nervous system, neural implants, and prostheses, as well as the bioinspiration and the fabrication methods for novel flexible, stretchable, or textile biosensors, and gain an understanding of modern biotechnologies.
