Compulsory modules

Design and Make Project 2

The aims of the module are:

  • To enable students to develop detailed knowledge of the principles used in designing and making exemplar bioengineering products.
  • To enable students to demonstrate their understanding and skills to complete dedicated biomaterials, Electrical Engineering (EE) and scaffold fabrication mini projects, and a series of well-structured tissue manufacturing experiments relating to the process design for engineered tissue(s) or organ(s).
  • To enable students to analyse and communicate the principles of design in solving bioengineering problems including the complex processes for bioengineering product(s) through combinational skills.

Bioengineering Thermofluids

The aims of this module are to:

  • Introduce the fundamental concepts of thermodynamics and fluid mechanics.
  • Solve practical engineering problems using thermodynamics and fluid mechanics principles.

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.

Digital Systems

The aims of this module are to develop an understanding of the key concepts of electronic logic and how signals and systems are represented on digital platforms.

Biochemistry and Cell Biology

The aim of this module is to further student understanding of the fundamental aspects of biochemistry and cell biology that underpin the wider study of human biology.

Materials Characterisation

The aim of the module is to develop the understanding of materials characterisation techniques to accurately determine the structure of materials at microscopic or atomic level.

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.
