Biomedical Engineering [with Placement year] Beng (Hon)

Join an interdisciplinary-focused course that combines the principles of engineering, biology and medicine to advance and improve healthcare treatments.<br/><br/>**Why study Biomedical Engineering at ARU?**<br/><br/><br/>- Cover key areas of advanced healthcare technologies such as biomaterials and nanotechnology, microelectronics, robotics and machine intelligence and biomechanics.<br/><br/><br/>- Bring the world of work to life through Live Briefs; designed and developed with regional employers to give you exposure to ‘real world’ problem-solving.<br/><br/><br/>- Learn from experts in electronics, mechatronics and medicine in our new Biomedical Engineering Laboratory and purpose-built School of Medicine.<br/><br/><br/>- Gain hands-on laboratory experience using cutting-edge technologies to create medical devices while developing your problem-solving and critical-thinking skills.<br/><br/><br/>- Engage in ground-breaking research that addresses real-world problems during and outside of term-time.<br/><br/><br/>- Prepare for a career that makes a real difference to healthcare, improving patient outcomes and quality of life.<br/><br/><br/>The BEng(Hons) Biomedical Engineering course at ARU is designed as a Project Based Learning (PBL) course, with modules that are offered in accordance with the advancements in healthcare technologies. The curriculum offered through this course will enable you to gain extensive knowledge in various Engineering approaches to tackle healthcare challenges, with the opportunity 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 ability to design, develop and deliver new products. The PBL approach enables you to develop a collective set of technical and transferrable skills such as teamwork, independent research, and an integrated approach to problems, all of which are beneficial for future employability within the healthcare industry.<br/><br/>Learn about and work on real-world problems in electronics, mechatronics and embedded systems, including microelectronics, robotics, automation and control, signal processing and machine learning and intelligence. Group-based projects such as computer-aided engineering projects will give you the opportunity to work in on the design, manufacture, analysis, and testing of a simple component.<br/><br/>Human anatomy and physiology provides you with the knowledge required for human motion biomechanics and tissue engineering including organ repair and regeneration. Learn modelling and analysis of human motion, emphasising experimental data collection. Material science is one of the core areas of the course, covering areas of biomaterials and material science. Learn some of the advanced applied engineering mathematics skills you need to succeed as a scientist and engineer in solving complex problems and design tasks.<br/><br/>You’ll also conduct your independent piece of research in a project supervised by one of your lecturers. This is your capstone assessment and will personalise your degree, and train you to think like an engineer, ready to meet the challenges of an ever-changing world.<br/><br/>Completing this course will open up a range of career pathways for you, varying from medical device companies and the National Health Service to research institutes making an impact on healthcare by improving patient outcomes and quality of life.
