This module provides a vehicle for all the elements of the Conceive-Design-Implement-Operate (CDIO) methodology, an internationally recognised model for the practical education of professional engineers (see www.cdio.org). It also brings in underpinning theory of systems, materials and processes to explain how designers have worked to arrive at current solutions, whilst facilitating the future development of your skills in engineering design. Physical and virtual logs of workshop and project work contribute to your CPD portfolio. It will also provide the necessary study skill support (from both a mathematics and English perspective) to assist you in the completion of your assessments. In addition to this, the fundamental principles and biomedical applications of a variety of topics from across the medical and biomedical engineering degree programmes will be introduced by a series of seminars. This module teaches and assesses (Sm3b) (EA3b/4b) (D4/5/6) (P3/11b) (G2) and develops (Sm1b) (EA1b) (D1/2/3b) (EL1/2/3b/4/6b) (P1/2/8) (G1/3b/4).
