Compulsory modules
Biomechanics of Sport
The aims of this module are for the student to:
- Develop an understanding of the mechanical principles governing human movement.
- Be introduced to the mathematical modelling of sports movements.
- Be introduced to biomechanical data acquisition techniques and their use in mechanical analysis of sports movements.
Engineering Computation for Sports Technology
The aims of this module are to:
- Improve computer literacy and programming skills.
- Develop the ability to solve 'real' engineering problems by numerical methods.
Applied Sports Technology 2
The aim of this module is for the student to develop, through practical applications of knowledge, the engineering management and communications skills acquired throughout the taught programme.
Application of Product Design in Sports
The aim of this module is for the students to apply the principles of design, manufacture & test, as studied in Parts A & B, to a group project in which they will develop and verify conceptual solutions to sports-related product design opportunities.
Measurement and Experimental Design
The aim of this module is for students to understand the factors involved in measurement and data collection in order to evaluate sports equipment and sports performers.
Electronic Systems
The aim of this module is for students to gain fundamental appreciation of electronics systems and devices and to be confident to use standard electronics devices for circuit design and implementation.
Statistics
The aim of this module is to introduce statistical approaches that are important in engineering design and production.
Sports Goods Design, Manufacture and Test
The aim of this module is for the students to understand design principles and evolution of the factors concerned with the design, manufacture and performance testing of specific sports equipment.
