Introduction to Engineering and Biology for Medicine (BENG0002)

This module will introduce Medical Science and Engineering students to the fundamentals of engineering and biology. It will introduce students to the fundamental principles of engineering that underpin the creation of a) medical devices and b) cellular medicines manufacturing processes. It will also ensure that students understand the basics of human physiology and have a basic understanding of the structure and function of cells, tissues and organs.

Intended learning outcomes 

Upon completion of the course, a student should be able to:

Describe how the human body works, in the broad context of structure-function relationships and basic cell biology and physiology. This module will lay the foundation for the next two years’ work delivered by colleagues in Faculty of Medical Science.
	Gain a basic understanding of engineering tools and process engineering that is required to create new medical devices and advanced medicines that can meet the rapidly changing needs of 21st Century healthcare.
	Think across disciplines and link fundamentals of biology to engineering concepts. This will be achieved via the case study-based workshops.
	Develop critical practical skills to encourage good practice in laboratory work.
