Course Overview
Introduction to mechanobiology programme by Swayama is about mechanobiology. It makes the student get skilled in the concepts theoretically and practical as well. The course offers practical concepts that may be helpful to the candidates during the applications in the workplace. The course makes the students apply knowledge and take decisions wisely in an intellectual manner. The course can be learned anywhere in the candidate’s flexible way.
The course illustrates the combined concepts of mechanics and biology that explore the career in the new path. As students are searching for new paths for a career the respective path can initiate the career of the students. The course is for undergraduate level and the course involves in the study of mechanics a free flow of body simultaneously collaborating with biology as a new career option arises within.
The course is initiated by the government. Swayam is an online educational learning source that is mainly initialized for candidates who cannot afford to study in the institutions.
