Advanced Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering - BIOE97171
Aims
Biomaterials shape our life through food, textile, built environment, and medicine. This module will showcase the frontiers of biomaterials research and innovation, which are closely linked to tissue engineering in regenerative medicine and beyond. Biomaterials are materials that are synthesized by living organisms, or ones that interact with biological cells and tissues. Pioneering development of new biomaterials will be explored, highlighting their functionalities in various fields of application and diving into their synthesis via state-of-art technology, such as synthetic biology and chemistry and biomimetic engineering.

Design and Professional Practice 2 - BIOE50002
Aims
This module will build on the principles of engineering design and professional practice taught in first year through application in a group design, make and test project. As part of the group project students will:
Tackle a real design problem
Develop their engineering design skills through practice
Apply learning from other modules to a practical challenge
Be exposed to the wider application of bioengineering in society
Develop teamworking skills and be exposed to the challenges and benefits of collaboration
