Course Objective 「仿生工程」是生物學到工程技術的觀念轉移，生物系統在上億年的演化驗證後已經達到高效且永續的精緻成果，本課程將介紹仿生工程之最新發展，師法自然將其應用於工程上將帶來革命性的突破。課程內容包含四大主題: (1)仿生概述、(2)生物製造技術、(3)生物高分子與(4)生物材料於仿生技術上的應用。 “Biomimetic Engineering” is a kind of knowledge transferring from biology to engineering technology. After billions of years of evolution, it has been proven that the biological system is highly efficient and sustainable. In this course, the latest progress in Biomimetic Engineering will be introduced. It will bring us revolutionary breakthroughs if we learn from nature and apply it to technology. The topics covered in this course will include (1) an introduction to bioinspiration, (2) biofabrication, (3) biomacromolecules, and (4) biomaterials and their application in bioinspired engineering.

Course Schedule Week1 Introduction to Biological (Natural) Materials Week2 Basic Building Blocks: Amino acid, proteins, polysaccharides, lipids, minerals Week3 Cells: structure and functions Week4 Bio-mineralization Week5 Silicate-based Composites: Diatoms, sea sponges Week6 Calcium carbonate-based Composite: Mollusk shells, crustacean exoskeletons Week7 Calcium phosphate-based Composite: Bone and teeth Week8 Biological Polymers and Polymer-based Composites Week9 Midterm test/report Week10 Biological Elastomers Week11 Cellular Solids (Foams) Week12 Functional Biological Materials I: Adhesion and attachment Week13 Functional Biological Materials II: Surface properties Week14 Functional Biological Materials III: Optical properties Week15 Bio-inspired and biomimetic materials: engineering approaches Week16 Molecular-based Biomimetic Week17 Final Presentation/Project Week18 Final Exam
