BIOM1000 2026-27
BIOM Part One Laboratory Programme
This module is the lab programme for all first-year students enrolled on the BIOM degree programme. It aims to give students the opportunity to apply the theory that they learn in their other modules, and to provide them with transferrable, subject-based and professional skills that they will need for their degree and career.
Structurally, the BIOM Part One Laboratory Programme is organised to cover all practical and laboratory based work in the first year of study on all BIOM Pathways in a single timetable organised into central laboratory locations.
The module is structured into a series of activities. There are a series of general sessions which all students enrolled on this module are expected to attempt:
•Information lectures.
•Transferable skills laboratories
•Professional skills laboratories.
•A²õ²õ¾±²µ²Ô³¾±ð²Ô³Ù²õ.
In addition, there are a number of technical laboratories integrated into the Laboratory Programme which cover practical Learning Outcomes from other technical modules in the Programmes. -

Biomaterials
The success of many medical devices depends on selecting materials that can function safely and reliably within the human body. Whether designing joint replacements, dental implants or cardiovascular devices, biomedical engineers must understand how materials interact with biological tissues and how these interactions influence long-term clinical performance. This module explores the engineering principles behind the selection and application of biomaterials.
You will investigate the properties of metallic, ceramic and polymeric biomaterials, examining how engineers balance mechanical performance, durability, corrosion resistance and biocompatibility when designing medical implants. Through real clinical case studies—including hip and knee replacements—you will explore how engineering failures have shaped the development of modern biomaterials and gain an appreciation of the relationship between materials engineering and patient outcomes.
By the end of the module, you will be able to evaluate and select biomaterials for a range of biomedical applications, combining engineering knowledge with an understanding of clinical performance and healthcare needs. -

Biomaterials
A biomaterial can be described as a material used in a biomedical device intended to interact with biological systems. The selection of an appropriate biomaterial is critical to the performance of an implant. For a hip replacement, properties such as good strength, excellent corrosion resistance, fatigue resistance and biocompatibility are required to ensure the hip replacement does not fail in service. In this module, you will learn about the various polymer, metal and ceramic based materials used as biomaterials, and discover why these materials have been accepted into clinical practice. A series of case studies will be used as examples to show how past failures have led to the materials that are used today, in particular, focussing on hip and knee replacements. -

Biomechatronics
The module aims to provide an integrated understanding of the representation and analysis of dynamical systems (electrical and mechanical), their solution and practical implementation in diagnosis and health monitoring for biomedical engineering problems and applications.
The module integrates three components related to the analysis of (1) mechanical system, (2) electrical machines, and (3) power drives, and each component has specific aims:
1.To provide a detailed understanding of mechanical systems, vibration analysis using frequency response and energy approximations methods, which is further extended into continuous mechanical problems.
2.To introduce the students to fundamental concepts and principles of operation of types of electrical machines and provide basic experimental and modelling skills associated with electrical machines.
3.To provide a detailed understanding of all aspects of the selection, sizing and operation of modern electrical drive systems; this will be achieved by consideration of the individual sub-system including power semiconductors, electronic power converters and associated electric motors, mechanical power transmission, speed and velocity transducers, and controllers.
