M.Tech. Medical Nanotechnology (5yr INT)

Programme Educational Objectives

The M.Tech. programme in Medical Nanotechnology envisions to create a unique interdisciplinary knowledge centre that integrates the principles of science, mathematics and engineering to develop technology-enabled solutions towards personalized healthcare and human welfare. The programme aims to:

  • Impart fundamental concepts and principles of sciences, technology, component and systems design to the learner with special emphasis on nanotechnology
  • Equip learners with techniques to explore the interface of biology, nano-materials and engineering
  • Provide a broad base of basic medical sciences, biomaterials to tissue engineering, and applications of nanotechnology
  • Give hands-on training in laboratories for reinforcing theoretical concepts
  • Train learners to design, develop and implement unique engineering strategies that will help to solve challenges across biology and medicine
  • Transform the learners into confident and responsible individuals capable of working as a team, possess soft skills and social responsibility  

 

Programme Learning Outcomes

The M.Tech. Medical Nanotechnology programme at SASTRA Deemed-to-be-University is designed to impart a fundamental knowledge of the life sciences, mathematics, engineering and nanotechnology to the students. Upon completion of this programme, graduates will be able to:

  • Enumerate the working principles of various biological and physiological systems
  • Apply the principles of science and engineering to identify, evaluate and design experiments towards providing innovative healthcare solutions
  • Employ modern techniques and tools to develop innovative solutions
  • Design application-oriented systems and devices using bioengineering principles
  • Evaluate, analyze and interpret data from biological systems and devices
  • Question, innovate and experiment with out-of-the-box strategies to monitor, restore or replace biological systems
  • Communicate effectively and function on multidisciplinary teams
  • Contribute effectively to society with a strong ethical and environment consciousness to improve the quality of life
