MODULE DESCRIPTOR
Module Title
Group Biomedical Technology Project
Reference ENM400 Version 2
Created October 2020 SCQF Level SCQF 11
Approved March 2018 SCQF Points 30
Amended September 2021 ECTS Points 15

Aims of Module
To provide the student with the ability to complete an investigation into an engineering topic and to undertake the associated design, implementation and testing as a member of a project group.

Learning Outcomes for Module
On completion of this module, students are expected to be able to:
1 Understand becoming an effective member a project group.
2 Evaluate possible solutions to a biomedical technology related problem and select the best approach.
3 Design, implement and evaluate the selected solution to a biomedical technology related problem.
4 Apply quality assurance regulatory process to seek an approval for the designed biomedical solution and produce a well-structured project report.
5 Communicate project work through a presentation as part of a project group.

Indicative Module Content
The biomedical technology group project involves task specification, system design, implementation, evaluation, project management and application of quality management (ISO 13485) procedures for seeking regulatory approval of designed biomedical device. There is no formal syllabus for the group project in general but seminars are used to provide guidance with regard to project management and report writing.

Module Delivery
The group project is student-centred. Students are allocated to groups, each of which has a member of academic staff who acts as a supervisor. Regular weekly meetings take place to review progress. All students must maintain a logbook.
