  • winter semester 2024/2025
Language of instruction: depending on the choice
Form of verification: course work
ECTS credits: 3
Purpose and description of the content of education:
Bionics is a modern science dealing with the practical use of biological structures and processes. During the course, students learn about examples of such applications modeled on plant and animal organisms. The course enables students to acquire knowledge about the possibility of using solutions taken from nature (structures, biological processes, etc.) in technology, medicine, material science and construction, as well as the ability to observe nature in terms of practical solutions and applications in technology, medicine, material science and construction. During the course, the student will understand the existing and potential ways of using "constructions" and materials in modern technology, the source of which are living organisms.
