The aim of the module is to impart the skills required:

• To develop and conduct a research programme in the field of bioengineering.
• To communicate the findings, orally and in writing, to a technical audience.

The aims of this module are for the student to:

• Understand how to use basic design principles, including an appreciation of design requirements, constraints and approaches.
• Use the principles of materials selection in conjunction with biological requirements, and the different approaches adopted in commercial material selection systems in a regulated industry.
• Integrate their knowledge of biomaterials properties, manufacturing techniques and engineering principles in the solution of practical biomedical design problems.

The objective of this module is to introduce (mainly statistical) methods for the analysis of data generated from experiments, plant trials or production. Students will gain an understanding of how confidence levels can be used to quantify uncertainty in data and shape the conclusions that can be drawn from them, to then inform decision making and resulting actions.

The aim of this module is for students to gain an understanding of strategic and operational issues and demands related to product innovation management through a series of lectures covering an appreciation of market dynamics and their effect on the design of new products, including the development of appropriate management strategies.

The aim of the module is to introduce students from a diverse range of engineering backgrounds to both the opportunities and constraints of engineering practice in healthcare, medicine and medical device industry. The module will have a focus on products, design and manufacture, innovation and exploitation in a regulated industry on emerging health technology products.

The aims of this module are for the student to understand the biological bases and methods for assessing the composition and function of the human body and to critically evaluate the reliability and validity of techniques and their applicability in different populations.

The aims of this module are:

• To enable students to analyse biological processes based on an understanding of the principles involved.
• To develop strategies for processing biological materials based on available technologies.
• To give examples of industrially relevant processes.

The aims of this module are to:

• Introduce the fundamentals of bioelectricity and biophotonics at molecular, cellular and tissue levels.
• Explore engineering principles underpinning selected biomedical applications.

The module will introduce and develop the concepts of seven Additive Manufacturing (AM) process categories. The module will emphasise the strengths and weaknesses of the various technologies and will highlight applications and case studies from the Additive Manufacturing (AM) industry.

The aims of the module are to:

• To provide students with an understanding of the types of materials used in controlled delivery.
• To relate the mechanical/physical/chemical properties of a material with its correct use for different types of delivery.
• To consider the design and development of new materials and structures that can target delivery to specific organs/tissues and in specific timeframes.

The aim of this module is to develop an understanding of regenerative medicine that utilises biology as the basis for modern regenerative therapies.

The aim of this module is for students to develop a multidisciplinary knowledge and understanding of recent emerging technologies that can aid with improving health and wellbeing. This is inclusive of clinical devices to active lifestyle aids, and the module will cover topics including how they are developed, how they can be applied, and how to utilise them in research and practice.

The aim of the module is for students to gain an understanding of the science and materials relating to sports equipment design and manufacture and to appreciate the significance of this industry sector.
