General aims
In this teaching block, the student will learn how experiments are designed, how results are analysed and communicated, and how follow up research is designed
Concrete aims
After completion of this teaching block, the student has insight to:
- hypothesis and problem statement
- study design
- the design and interpretation of figures
- poster design and presentation
- applied statistics
- communication of research findings
- scientific fraud and integrity
- validation and verification of scientific findings
- scientific English
In the BEN master, the students gain insights into fundamental scientific aspects and applied concepts in materials science relevant for health care applications. Introduction to various advanced physical and chemical techniques will be covered.
The students gain insights on several application areas ranging from detection and characterization techniques for molecules (biosensors) to the nanoscale engineering of implant materials, biomaterials for tissue engineering and the development of nano(bio) materials for diagnosis and therapy (nanomedicine).
Also, the students learn how research is designed in these health care application domains.

| Evaluation conditions (participation and/or pass) | ✔ |
|
| Conditions | Presence at the Journal clubs and tutor sessions is obligatory.
The evaluations consists of multiple parts. For all parts of the evaluation, at least a score of 8/20 must be obtained in order to pass for the course. |
|
|
|
| Consequences | Students who are unjustified absent at one ore more journal clubs or tutor sessions, receive as final grade for the course an N - unjustified absence and have to attend the missed journal club(s) in the next academic year to receive their final grade. The students needs to re-enroll in the course in the next academic year. In this case, partial grades can be transferred to the next academic year.
A student who achieves a score lower than 8/20 on one or more parts of the evaluation will receive 'F - fail' as final result. This final result is not tolerable. A student who scores at least 8/20 for all parts of the evaluation receives as score the weighted average of the different points. This final mark is tolerable. Eg. 8/20 + 16/20 = 12/20 (passed). |
|
|
|
| Additional information | The written evaluation during the teaching period (26%) consists of an assignment with abstract, poster with oral presentation and participation during the tutor sessions.
The oral evaluation during the teaching period (20%) consists of participation during the journal clubs and the workshop 'Scientific integrity'.
The oral evaluation during the exam period (14%) consists of the oral presentation of the assignment.
