COURSE CURRICULUM

In the first year, students are introduced to foundational concepts and practical skills in biomedical engineering and clinical technology. The *Radiology and Radiation Engineering* module (MHT4005-B) provides an introduction to radiological science, covering radiological physics, diagnostic imaging, radiobiology, and radiation management. *Computer Aided Engineering* (ENB4002-B) equips students with knowledge of computer-aided design, analysis, and simulation techniques used in various engineering disciplines, laying a foundation for future studies. The *Design, Build and Test (Biomedical and Clinical Technology)* module (MHT4006-B) focuses on developing problem-solving skills, teamwork, and introducing experimental techniques relevant to biomedical engineering. *Electronics and Mechanics (Biomedical Engineering)* (MHT4007-B) emphasizes the fundamentals of electrical circuits, energy dynamics, and mechanics, specifically tailored for biomedical engineering. The *Mathematics for Clinical Technologists* module (ENM4005-B) introduces students to numerical mathematics, focusing on applications in biomechanics and the analysis of human movement. Finally, *Clinical Instrumentation and Imaging* (MHT4004-B) provides an understanding of clinical instrumentation, imaging technologies, and healthcare equipment management.In the second year, students delve deeper into applied biomedical engineering concepts, focusing on the intersection of biology, technology, and clinical practice. The *Applied Epidemiology* module (HWS5017-B) provides students with an understanding of epidemiological health indicators, study designs, and statistical methods used in epidemiological research. *Cell and Tissue Biology* (MHT5007-B) introduces students to the basics of cell biology and its relevance to medical engineering, covering topics such as cell division, genetics, cancer, and cell culture techniques. The *Clinical Movement Analysis* module (MHT5011-B) focuses on the analysis of human body movements in static and dynamic conditions, emphasizing gait, posture evaluation, and fall risk analysis. *Embedded Electronics* (ELE5016-B) provides students with an understanding of embedded electronic systems, sensors, and signal processing, with practical experience in biomedical and clinical applications. *Functional Anatomy and Human Physiological Measurements* (MHT5014-B) covers human anatomy and physiology, with a focus on cardiovascular, respiratory, musculoskeletal systems, and fluid mechanics, along with testing methods. The *Healthcare Technology Project* (MHT5005-B) encourages students to apply product design methods to develop medical devices, from identifying key needs to creating a working prototype and evaluating functional solutions.Third Year Study abroad or placement year.In the final year, students focus on applying their knowledge and skills to complex, real-world projects, honing both technical expertise and professional development. The *Individual Research Project* (ENG6003-D) is a student-driven initiative, aimed at developing skills in selecting and applying appropriate engineering tools, such as Computer Aided Engineering (CAE), artificial intelligence (AI), and data analysis, while considering ethics, health and safety, and sustainability. The *Medical Ethics and Quality Management* module (MHT6020-B) encourages a critical review of medical ethics and quality systems in medical engineering and clinical technology. *Integrated Design* (ENG6004-B) involves a group-based project where students apply design methodologies and manufacturing systems to develop an industrially relevant product or system, while enhancing personal and interpersonal skills in product, process, or system design. The *Rehabilitation and Prosthetics* module (MHT6019-B) focuses on bone and musculoskeletal disorders, as well as neural disorders like stroke and spinal lesions, teaching students how prosthetic devices are designed to replicate the function of the physiological limb, and how to evaluate the efficacy of these devices in clinical settings.
