Summary

Mathematics 1 - BIOE40004

Aims

This modules aim to:

- provide the class with a common depth and breadth of mathematical understanding irrespective of pre-university mathematics qualification.

- introduce you to mathematics as a logical and structured discipline.

- enable you to understand how to select the most appropriate mathematical technique for problem solving

- provide a platform of mathematical knowledge required for other courses in the Biomedical Engineering degree programme.

- encourage independent learning of engineering mathematics.

Role

Lecturer

Fluid and Solid Mechanics 2 - BIOE50004

Aims

This module will introduce the principles of fluid and solid mechanics. It aims to:

Introduce you to the basic concepts of structural mechanics, showing the relevance of these concepts in design and risk analysis, and develop your analytical skills in stress analysis.

Introduce you to key concepts and equations associated with the study of fluid mechanics and develop your ability to apply these concepts to fluids problems framed in a biomedical context.

Role

Lecturer

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

Role

Lecturer

Design and Professional Practice 1 - BIOE40003

Aims

The aims of this module are to:

Introduce the principles of engineering design and develop your design skills through practice with a variety of design problems and using appropriate design tools and softwares.

Develop your professional skills as a Bioengineer through meaningful practice and feedback.

Provide you with an understanding of the breadth of the bioengineering field and to inspire you and enthuse you about you potential impact on society as a future engineer.

To raise your awareness of the importance and value of ethics in engineering work.

Role

Lecturer

Mathematics and Engineering 1 - BIOE40005

Aims
