Compulsory modules
Data Analysis and Modelling
The aims of this module is to introduce the principles of data analysis and modelling relevant to materials and chemical engineering.
Group Design Project
The aims of this module are to:
- Continue the development of skills within engineering design to be applied to complex designs/systems with interacting parts.
- Further enhance the skills required to work within a diverse group to manage projects and communicate ideas with different stakeholders.
Structures and Characterisation
The aims of this module are:
- To develop a fundamental understanding of the structures of materials at different length scales, from the atomic scale upward.
- To develop understanding and skills in the applicability and use of different characterisation techniques used to determine the structure and properties of materials.
Materials in Action
The aims of this module are to provide students with knowledge of factors which determine how materials may evolve and fail in service, and the implications this has on the lifetime of components.
Materials Processing
The aim of this module is to develop understanding of the underlying principles determining the relationships between composition, processing, structure at different length scales, and properties for a range of materials.
Anatomy & Physiology 1
The aim of this module is for the student to understand the structure of the human body in relation to function with reference to musculoskeletal and nervous and integumentary systems.
Biomaterials 1 (Biomaterials for Tissue Engineering)
The aims of the module are to:
- To provide students with an understanding of the types of materials used in tissue engineering.
- To relate the mechanical/physical/chemical properties of a material with its correct use in the different biological tissues.
- To consider the design and development of devices to replace or augment damaged or diseased body parts.
