Compulsory modules

The aims of the module are:

  • To provide students with an understanding of the basic engineering and life science principles used in designing and making exemplar bioengineering products.
  • To provide a practical experience of a series of laboratories relating design concepts to product properties.

The aims of this module is to:

  • Equip students with core chemical and biological knowledge underpinning Chemical Engineering.
  • Introduce the principles of sustainability in chemical/biochemical processes.
  • Introduce students to industrially significant aspects of chemical/biochemical processes and microbiology.
  • Familiarise students to risk analysis procedures and experimental planning processes.

The aims of this module are to reinforce and extend student's previous exposure to mathematics with an emphasis on the techniques required to solve problems arising in bioengineering.

The aim of this module is:

  • To give the students an introduction to engineering materials, their properties and processing and how these are interrelated.
  • To provide students with an understanding of the major principles used in determining the properties and structure of materials.
  • Introduction to processing a range of material types from raw material to finished part.
  • How the processing method can influence the properties of the material.

The aim of this module is to develop the students' understanding of the structure, function and homeostatic regulation of the human body with reference to integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, immune, endocrine and reproductive systems.

The aim of this module is for students to understand the integrated nature of Product Design and technology. Students will gain an introduction to:

  • The processes of creating design information through applied Computer Aided Design (CAD) methods.
  • Reading graphical engineering design information.
  • The design and implementation of engineering related software and programming.
  • Electronics and technology.
  • CAD based simulation for modelling.
