Leraning goals:
* The student has insight in the structure of atoms (model of Bohr and extension towards electron orbitals) and the various configurations of molecules - with special emphasis on chemical binding principles such as covalent bonds, ionic bonds, metal bonding, and van-der-Waals interactions and can apply these principles to different kinds of matter (solids, liquids, polymers, and biological molecules).
* The student can design suitable synthesis routes for organic compounds and polymers.
* The student is familiar with a selection of interdisciplinary subjects of (bio)chemistry and (bio)physics and can apply these within the context of (bio)electronics and material development.
* The student can explain transport mechanisms including electrical conduction in solids and electrolytes, heat transfer, and the transport of matter by diffusion processes (laws of Fick).
* The student can explain the concepts of surface tension, contact angles, hydrophilic/hydrophobic behavior and capillary forces in the context of capillaries and membranes in biological systems.
* The student can discuss the concepts of streaming liquids (laminar and turbulent flow), potentiometric effects (Nernst-potential) and the physiological principles of the action potential in neuronal cells.

|
| Evaluation conditions (participation and/or pass) | ✔ |
|
| Conditions | The evaluation 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 | A student who achieves a score lower than 8/20 on one (or more) parts of the evaluation will receive a '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 a weighted average of the different grades. This final mark is tolerable. Eg. 8/20 + 16/20 = 12/20 (passed) |
|
|
|
| Additional information | If a student gets 7/20 in one of the parts, then he or she has to pass only that part in the resit exam. |
|
|
|
| Prerequisites |
| |
The student should know the basic principles of (bio)physics, general and (bio)organic chemistry.
He/she is able to read scientific papers/course material in english.
