Students will become familiar and practice the basics of (1) various polymerization modalities; (2) design for manufacturability principles; (3) advanced fabrication techniques, and (4) metrology and characterization methods to analyze the printed devices and implants. By the end of the module, they will be able to apply their understanding of manufacturing process capabilities and constraints to the design and manufacture of a new biomedical device which they will be challenged to develop and prototype for the final project assessment. The lab in conjunction with the complimentary modules will equip the students with the experience and skillsets required to operate in a medical device industry as a product engineer or product R&D researcher.

Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence for Engineering

Deriving insight from data is essential to problem-solving innovation in modern engineering disciplines. To gain this insight, the data needs to be understood and appropriately interpreted. In this module, you will develop tools, systems, and processes to enable the application of artificial intelligence in real-world contexts. You will learn probability theory and the transformation of data from a high- into a low-dimensional space. You will develop statistical thinking in order to design data collection, derive insights from visualising data, obtain supporting evidence for data-based decisions and construct models for predicting future trends from the data. You will learn techniques applied to your discipline for unsupervised and supervised learning and apply them to automating routine engineering tasks, and to apply machine learning approaches to complex and critical systems in a holistic and system-oriented way.

Deep Learning for Data and Image Analysis

This module is an in-depth study of the intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and imaging science. The module covers key concepts in both fields, including machine learning algorithms and techniques for data gathering in imaging systems. It is designed for students who work with imaging systems, such as cameras, microscopes, MRI/CT scanners, and ultrasound devices, and want to learn more about how to apply machine learning to improve their data gathering and analysis. The module is also suitable for students who are familiar with medical imaging and/or statistical thinking and want to learn more about the applications of these techniques in imaging systems, or for those who already work with both fields and want to gain a new perspective on the topic. It is also appropriate for students with strong mathematical and signal processing backgrounds who want to learn about both fields.

Clinical Bioengineering: Applications in Urology

The course explores a broad range of biomedical engineering applied to the clinical area of urology. Urological problems effect 80% of people within their lifetime necessitating the use of diagnostic and therapeutic technology. This important area of clinical bioengineering is rarely covered in degree programmes, despite the unmet need for skilled bioengineers in this area. The module covers the basic physiology and biophysics of the urinary tract in health and disease, with particular reference to clinical incontinence, clinical measurement and urodynamics as used by clinical scientists and clinical engineers for diagnostic assessment. It also considers the development and use of current and future medical devices including urinary catheters and implantable stents, artificial urinary sphincters, functional electrical stimulator implants and urological tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. The module is supported by external, clinical and industrial experts providing specialist information with the possibility of additional patient perspectives. This module is taught using flipped learning, that enables students to fully engage with the subject matter and learning objectives. This involves interactive face-to-face small group supervisions with the module organiser(s) and external experts. Students gain both subject specific knowledge and transferable, professional practice skills including the ability to explain and discuss bioengineering concepts, to ask appropriate technical questions of experts, to conduct data analysis tasks, to present graphical data, and to review and discuss scientific literature.
