B.Eng. Mechanical and Medical Engineering (Hons)

Course Content

The learning experience is delivered primarily through lectures, tutorials and seminars, and you’ll also benefit from time in our state-of-the-art laboratories.

Year 1 The first year of the course contains modules such as the Fundamentals of (and the Key Skills for) Medical Engineering, including Anatomy and Physiology; Statics and Mechanics of Materials; Biomechanics and Mechanical Engineering Science; Computing and Design for Medical Engineers; and Maths 1. Year 2 Second-year modules include Physiological Measurements; NHS Medical Engineering in Practice (which offers the opportunity to spend regular sessions in an NHS setting throughout a whole semester); Medical Engineering ‘Design and Make’ Project; Design and Stress Analysis; Materials and Manufacturing; and Maths 2. Year 3 In the final year you will put your knowledge into practice, undertaking a major medical engineering project. This involves working at a professional level, often in conjunction with clinicians from local hospitals or medical companies. You will be able to select modules including Prosthetics and Orthotics; Rehabilitation and Assistive Devices; Biomaterials and Orthopaedic Devices; Finite Elements for Implant Design; and Engineering Management.
