INTRA Programme BEng Biomedical Engineering

Overview

The BEng Biomedical Engineering degree is primarily focussed on producing engineers to work on research, design, development and manufacturing of medical devices, however, both interns and graduates work in a wide variety of roles across the broader engineering sector.

Programme Outline

In the first three years of study (ie prior to their INTRA work placement) all Biomedical Engineering students complete two significant team projects; one in their first year (a multidisciplinary Mobile Robotics project) and one in their third year (a mechanical designand-build project). They complete modules in Design and CADD (using SolidWorks), Lean and 6 Sigma Manufacturing, Data Analytics for Engineers (including Statistical Quality Control), Measurement and Signal Processing, and Project Development and Regulatory Compliance (including relevant regulatory requirements of  the medical device industry).

Work Areas

They have the ability to work in the following areas:

• Product / process design
• Medical device design /  development /manufacturing
• Project engineering
• Manufacturing system design  and implementation
• Quality assurance/management
• Research and development
• Operations management
• Test engineering
• Technical documentation
