The module contains the well-recognised elements of classical engineering mathematics which un

This builds on the common basis established in Engineering Tools and Principles 2. The aim of this module is to provide you with a clear understanding of Mathematical and Engineering concepts. You will gain an appropriate background in the fundamental principles of Mathematics, Mechanical Principles (Dynamics), Electronic Principles and their uses by carrying out analytical calculations and laboratory experiments. The focus in this module is on practical applications, introducing multivariable f

This module includes two interlinked parts: 1) a practical part in which you will learn the key elements of engineering drawings and the design process and 2) where you will learn the numerical tools required for modern Mechanical Engineering Design in addition to the fundamentals of mechanical machines and the fundamentals of work and energy. In the practical part, you will work as part of a team to develop a solution for a design challenge while tackling a range of issues to produce a cost-eff

In this module, you will develop an understanding of the fundamental aspects of biochemistry, cell biology and anatomy and physiology that underpin many aspects of bioengineering. You will be introduced to the key principles of Chemistry and Cell biology; basics of chemistry and biochemistry; cellular structure and function. Anatomy and Physiology, introduction to the structure and function of cells, tissues and physiological systems. Clinical perspectives will allow you to gain experience in cl

This module introduces the fundamental and distinctive aspects of computing, programming, and interfacing microcontrollers for practical applications, laying the foundation for embedded systems. Skills learned in this module will allow you to make use of various programming environments to solve real-world problems not limited to Python and Arduino IDE. Simultaneously, general principles and applications of Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) will be provided. You will learn to design circuit and t

This module introduces core principles in fluid and biofluid‐mechanics with supporting mathematics required to understand them. You will learn essential mathematical techniques such as: Vector calculus and Integration in vector fields, Line Integrals, Fourier series, PDEs Partial differential equations, and Numerical methods. In Fluid Mechanics part, beginning with the continuity equation in incompressible flow, you will be introduced to The Momentum Equation, The Steady flow energy equation, Mo

The first part of the module introduces you to modelling and analysis of dynamic systems through the investigation of the system response, with an emphasis on the free and forced oscillations. You will learn about the idea of modelling physical systems, characteristic equations, natural frequencies, and vibration modes. In addition, different system's engineering applications will be discussed to develop further understanding of the solution of the resulting differential equations (e.g., vibrati

Through an industrial-style design and prototyping project, the Embedded Systems and Interfacing module provides core skills in the application, design, and development of a complete embedded system to include both firmware and the component-level design of the necessary analog and digital interfacing subsystems allowing the embedded system to interface with common signals and networks. An emphasis is placed on design right from the start; you are provided with an industrial style specification

Projects need to deliver a design solution (e.g. a product), which require planning and initiation, and need to be budgeted, costed and scheduled and completed within these projections. Projects require management of stakeholder expectations and they need to be undertaken at an agreed level of quality within an accepted level of risk. Project management is the control of this disparate and multidisciplinary subject. This module presents some of the background, theory and practice to enable learn

This module is structured into three areas: 1) Healthcare-based technologies: this focuses on analytical and patient-centred applications of various techniques within biomedical and healthcare settings. Content coverage includes theoretical and practical considerations of various biomedical techniques in analytical chemistry. Patient-centred healthcare technologies will deal with equipment based primarily in clinical care, such as ventilators, patient monitors, anaesthesia equipment, diathermy,

This module provides a comprehensive understanding of the principles and applications of biomedical imaging and image processing techniques. It elaborates the fundamental physical principles behind various imaging modalities, including X-ray, CT, MRI, ultrasound, and nuclear medicine, and introduces computational methods for processing and analysing biomedical images. The module aims to equip you with the knowledge and practical skills including image acquisition, reconstruction, and interpretat

This module aims to introduce you to the interrelated topics of biomechanics, biomaterials, and tissue engineering. You will develop a critical understanding of how biomechanical principles, material science, and biological processes interact.
