The aim of this module is for students to develop an understanding of recent and future applications of robotics with and for humans, with particular emphasis on sport and healthcare applications. The module will analyse several problems and what specific robotic solution are being developed for them, how the solutions are derived, what results are currently achieved and what the next challenges are.

The aim of the module is to gain an understanding of inclusive and sustainable product design methods and commercialisation, with an appreciation for patents and regulative constraints, on sports equipment.

This module aims to provide an understanding of the tools and techniques available to facilitate sustainable product design and provide knowledge of the product design processes that can reduce environmental impacts and promote sustainable practices.

This module aims to develop the study, employability and research skills to meet the complex learning and professional requirements of postgraduate study. The module which is delivered through a blended approach brings together three discrete elements of study, employability and research skills. Learning content will be delivered through a combination of synchronous and asynchronous teaching provision.
Key aims include:

• To deliver a series of high quality, interactive study skills and blended learning activities to provide students with a broad foundation to support their development within their chosen field.
• To provide a series of skills to support students within their employability profiles.
• To provide students with the opportunity to develop research skills for engineering and business, including data gathering and analysis skills and ethical awareness.
• To provide students with the opportunity to develop effective communication skills for engineering and business, including skills synthesise complex scientific data to engineering and non-engineering audiences

The aims of this module are:

• To give students an opportunity to conduct a research and/or development project on a topic of relevance to their specific programme of study.
• To provide students with the key skills and experience needed to plan, manage and deliver a complex extended project.
• To prepare students for future employment and professional practice in a relevant engineering sector at an advanced technical or managerial level.
