Physical Chemistry

In order to register for the course F7PBBFCH, the student must have successfully completed the course F7PBBCHM in a previous semester.

The course F7PBBLT can be graded only after the course F7PBBFCH has been successfully completed.

The course F7PBBSPT can be graded only after the course F7PBBFCH has been successfully completed.

Supervisor:

Department of Biomedical Technology

Synopsis:

The course is aimed at clarifying the physicochemical principles of topics related to the profession of biomedical engineer and technician in clinical practice or research. The goal of the course is to provide students with the fundamentals of physical chemistry as they occur and are applied in the design of medical devices, in clinical research, or directly in clinical practice. The course demonstrates the direct application of theoretical principles in practice.

Requirements:

Conditions for obtaining credit:

Compulsory attendance, absences must be properly excused and made up.

Successful completion of two credit written papers (at least 50% of the points in both). Completion of all laboratory assignments, writing at least 60% of the entry tests for the assignments, and submitting the completed reports by the due date. One assignment may be substituted.

Course and evaluation of the exam:

The examination has a written and an oral part. The written part consists of a test in which there are questions to be answered by the students. The test must be written with a minimum score of 50%. Some questions may carry more weight in the assessment than others, for example those involving a numerical problem or requiring a complex approach to solving. Successful completion of the test is followed by an oral examination. If the results of the written part are sufficient for classification, the oral part of the examination may be waived. If the result of any part is graded F, the result of the examination is automatically F.
