The aims of this module are:

• To examine the various stages in the design of chemical, biochemical and biomedical products.
• To consider a generalised methodology for identifying needs, generating and selecting ideas, designing a manufacturing process for chemical, biochemical and biomedical products and getting the product to market.

The aims of the module are:

• To develop competency in a range of practical research techniques used in microbiology, genetics and molecular biology relevant to biotechnology and biomedical engineering.
• To advance students' knowledge and understanding of the laboratory practices associated with biotechnology and biomedical engineering research and to apply this knowledge to practical biological experiments.
• To implement a working knowledge of the scientific method and philosophy by deploying experimental design and advanced skills in the collection, processing and interpretation of biological information.
• To enable students to demonstrate their understanding and practical skills by completing a dedicated integrated biotechnology and biomedical engineering focused interdisciplinary mini-project.

The aims of this module is for the student to:

• Gain an understanding of the methods, components, and applications of select analytical technologies for in vitro biochemical and in vivo physiological measurement.
• Compare and contrast the various sensing design elements.
• Critically appraise biosensors for laboratory and clinical environments, including characteristics such as sensitivity, selectivity and biocompatibility.

The aims of this module are to:

• Develop skills to critically review the literature and apply them to scientific and engineering problems.
• Develop knowledge and understanding of data analysis techniques and their application.
• Gain an understanding of and how to apply the ideas to measure unknown quantities.
