Medical Engineering Project
The main focus
of this one-year course is the Medical Engineering Project
(MEP) which has been devised in collaboration with the Engineering
and Medical Faculty.
As a Medical
Engineer, you will need to communicate and work collaboratively
with medical and engineering professionals. You will also
need to use your engineering knowledge and skills to solve
medical engineering problems.
The aim of
the MEP is to increase your awareness of a variety of engineering
issues in the various medical fields while improving oral
and written communication skills at the same time.

The five major stages
in the MEP are:
- Choose a topic to research.
- Conduct preliminary interviews
with faculty members in order to understand the breadth
of the medical engineering problem.
- Conduct major, in-depth
small group interviews with faculty members in order to
understand the problem in detail and if possible find solutions
to the medical engineering problem.
- Give a poster presentation
explaining the problem and your suggested solutions. For
this you will need to follow up on the information from
faculty members, conduct experiments, and write up your
findings.
- Convert the poster into
a professional report.

Poster.
