About this course
MEng, BEng in Medical Engineering (Industrial), a biomedical engineering degree centered on the design, production, and operation of medical devices and technology. Core topics include Engineering Design. The course includes a paid industrial placement year and holds accreditation from the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. The first year covers the foundations through Computers in Engineering Analysis, Design and Manufacture 1, Thermofluids 1, and Solid Mechanics. The second year focuses on Engineering Mechanics, Vibration and Control, Design and Manufacture 2, and Economics and Management. The third year continues with studies in Individual Engineering Project, Finite element analysis of musculoskeletal joints, Assistive Robotic Exoskeletons, and Fem-Tech: transforming the future of women. The final year involves advanced study through Team project, Global Challenges in Health Research, Development of a surrogate mechanical model for evaluation of musculoskeletal interventions in the foot and ankle, and Design and Development of a Transcatheter Heart Valve Replacement.
