Principles and baselines related to teaching and learning

- the course is based on tutoring, which takes place partly in face-to-face discussions and partly in Moodle

Objectives

This course is extension of Microfluidics course (ACI-51406). It is intended for students, who want to work independently on a problem. The problem can have different nature: such as a simulation, practical work in the laboratory or literature research of a topic.

Content

Content	Core content	Complementary knowledge	Specialist knowledge
1.	research skills> depending on the problem - defining a problem, - writing, - presenting, - searching and evaluating information
2.	for simulation problems> - fluid mechanics theory - deeper understanding of modeling and simulation strategies related with microfluidics as well as modelling tools (e.g. Comsol Multiphysics and MATLAB)	- background information for given application - varies (e.g. biotechnology, material science, process automation)
3.	practical work> - fabrication and testing of microfluidic devices in practice - deeper understanding of practical issues related to microfluidics	- background information for given application - varies (e.g. biotechnology, material science, process automation)
4.	literature search> - further development of research skills - deeper understanding of researched microfluidic subject	- background information for given application - varies (e.g. biotechnology, material science, process automation)

Evaluation criteria for the course

- amount of credits depends on the size of the problem as well as its solution in a timely manner

Assessment scale:

Evaluation scale passed/failed will be used on the course

Partial passing:

Completion parts must belong to the same implementation
