MODULE DESCRIPTOR
Module Title
MEng Biomedical Technology Individual Project
Reference EN4606 Version 2
Created August 2021 SCQF Level SCQF 10
Approved March 2018 SCQF Points 30
Amended August 2021 ECTS Points 15

Aims of Module
To provide the student with the ability to undertake a major individual biomedical technology related research project and to report the findings of the work.

Learning Outcomes for Module
On completion of this module, students are expected to be able to:
1 Develop, plan and manage a major biomedical technology related research project.
2 Formulate the appropriate project specifications, management and review documentation; and record observations in a logbook for review.
3 Make a qualitative assessment of the current state of technology by conducting a focussed literature search and review.
4 Undertake a major investigative task, using initiative, imagination and creativity; to analyse the outcomes comprehensively, critically and in detail.
5 Communicate the project outcomes at an appropriate level of audience by producing a well-structured final project report, incorporating and justifying all aspects of the project work and defend the work in an oral presentation.

Indicative Module Content
There is no formal syllabus for this module. The project should have biomedical technology related research and development based objectives to deliver a useful outcome relevant to a placement company, a research group or other equivalent scholarly activity. The scope of work must include both technical and non-technical aspects appropriate to the requirements of these stakeholders and the level of course. The project should attempt to apply engineering and regulatory knowledge to biomedical problems. The final report should display clear evidence of transferrable skills.

Module Delivery
The project is student-centred. Each student is allocated a member of academic staff who acts as the project supervisor. Students are expected to plan their own project activities and meet with their academic supervisor on a regular basis. Evidence of such meetings should be in the form of signed log book entries.
