A critical objective of this module is the preparation of design, development procedures and project presentations on:
- prosthetic; orthotic; and mobility devices;
- modelling and simulation applied to the biomechanics of musculoskeletal system and prosthetic/orthotics, and
- design of medical devices used in rehabilitation engineering.
This module provides to students the managerial skills at all levels of the organization process: conceptual, technical, and interpersonal skills in order to carry out the required managerial functions of planning, organizing, staffing, directing, controlling and decision making.
In addition, it provides advanced knowledge to ensure improved access, quality and use of medical equipment and technologies.
This module aims to provide students with an overview of human anatomy and physiology such that they can intelligently develop biomedical engineering solutions and understand clinical applications.
The module will give students familiarity with anatomical and physiological terms and understanding their meaning. Students should gain an understanding of the gross anatomy of the major systems in the human body and their importance in the design of biomedical devices. Students should gain an understanding of the major physiological principles which govern the functioning of the human body.
