BN3101 Biomedical Engineering Design

Students are exposed to the entire design process: design problem definition, generation of a design specification, documentation, design review process, prototype fabrication, testing and calibration. A term project and oral presentation are required.

Student teams which perform well will be encouraged to participate in competitions with their projects. An example would be the EMedIC Global competition which is an international event where students can receive sponsorship from the Faculty to take part.

Final-Year Project (FYP) / BEng Dissertation

This module consists mainly of a research-based project carried out under the supervision of one or more faculty members. It introduces students to the basic methodology of research in the context of a problem of current research interest. Duration of this module normally spans over two consecutive semesters.

Undergraduate Research Opportunities Programme (UROP)

UROP is an individual academic research project you would undertake typically over two semesters or during the Special Term* anytime after your first semester, but before your final year. Successful completion of UROP counts as a 4-MC Unrestricted Elective Module (UEM). UROP is recommended if you wish to learn the skills of independent research. You may be supervised by a professor within the BME Department, or you may choose a project in another department, allowing you exposure to a different engineering discipline.

*Special Term fees apply if you choose to be on UROP over this period.

Independent Work/Study Modules

This module encourages students to become independent and self-motivated learners, and promote students’ interest in research-based work. It consists of a series of laboratory-based projects or other academic prescriptions for the students’ independent study. The academic scope is worked out between the student and the supervising faculty members.
