19	Objective of the Course:	The aim of this course is to introduce and examine biosensors used in modern medical electronics. Within the scope of the course, firstly enzyme, antibody and nucleic acid based biosensors will be discussed and the potentiometric, amperometric and optometric principles of these biosensors will be discussed. Finally, an evaluation will be made on the future and potential of biosensor technologies.
20	Contribution of the Course to Professional Development	This lecture enhances their ability to work across disciplines such as biotechnology, chemistry, and physics while allowing them to learn about innovative technologies used in areas like healthcare, environmental monitoring, and food safety. Additionally, as the design of biosensors involves integrating hardware and software components, engineers strengthen their practical design and problem-solving skills. This enables them to develop engineering solutions for medical devices and health monitoring systems in the healthcare sector, while also improving their capacity to create new products.
