Biomedical Engineering [with Foundation Year] Beng (Hon)

The BEng(Hons) Biomedical Engineering course at ARU is designed as a Project Based Learning (PBL) course, with modules<br/>that are offered in accordance with the advancements in healthcare technologies. The curriculum offered through this course will<br/>enable you to gain extensive knowledge in various Engineering approaches to tackle healthcare challenges, with the opportunity<br/>to explore Biomedical Engineering research.<br/><br/>Through the study of various modules and projects, you will learn the fundamental principles of medical technologies and gain the<br/>ability to design, develop and deliver new products. The PBL approach enables you to develop a collective set of technical and<br/>transferrable skills such as teamwork, independent research, and an integrated approach to problems, all of which are beneficial<br/>for future employability within the healthcare industry.<br/><br/>In the first year, you will develop basic skills essential for a Biomedical Engineer. You will study both traditional engineering<br/>topics (such as Mathematics, Structural Mechanics, and Electronics) and traditional medical topics (such as Anatomy and<br/>Physiology and Biology). You will also have a Biomedical Engineering-specific module, in which you will explore what it means to<br/>be an engineer in a multidisciplinary field. A Biomedical Engineering expert will come talk to you and share their career path and<br/>career advice. From the very start of your course, you will be involved in laboratory experiences, learning how to use equipment<br/>commonly used within Biomedical Engineering.<br/><br/>In your second year, you will develop your Bioinstrumentation skills while working on big real-world problems within the Electronic<br/>Design Project and Robotic Control Design Project. These project modules are Live Briefs – external companies design these<br/>projects. You will also learn Advanced Engineering Mathematics and Signal and Signal Processing to use alongside the<br/>projects. There is also a Biomedical Engineering-specific module on Biomaterials, which involves many hands-on experiments<br/>in our brand-new Biomedical Engineering laboratory. Youll take one of our Ruskin Modules, too. These give you the opportunity<br/>to work with students from different courses to come up with creative solutions to complex problems and key challenges facing<br/>society. Ruskin Modules are subject to change and availability.<br/><br/>In your final year, you will learn about the modelling and analysis of human motion, emphasising experimental data collection via<br/>motion analysis. You will study the advanced medical approach to tissue repair and regeneration as part of the tissue<br/>engineering module and gain an understanding and knowledge about the key components that can be utilised to produce<br/>structures which can improve damaged tissue or whole organs. You will advance your understanding and application of<br/>electronics and mechatronics, specifically in automation and control, robotics, and machine learning. Projects such as<br/>Computer-Aided Engineering projects will give you the opportunity to work on the design, manufacture, analysis, and testing of a<br/>simple component.<br/><br/>You’ll also conduct your independent piece of research in a project supervised by one of your lecturers. This is your capstone<br/>assessment and will personalise your degree, and train you to think like an engineer, ready to meet the challenges of an ever-<br/>changing world.
