Are courses in bionics just major subjects within the biology curriculae?
Can be, but does not have to. At present, a number of disciplines offer bionics courses, e.g. engineering, design, architecture, or material sciences. You can even do a complete Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) in bionics at the School of Applied Sciences in Bremen. Of course, there is still possible to do bionics as a major as part of a normal degree in biology.
