This module will give students the opportunity to undertake a substantial independent project in a selected area of Biomedical Engineering. The project will start in September and will run over Autumn and Spring, following a project plan drawn up in consultation with the student's academic supervisor. The project work may involve elements of research, design, analysis, simulation, construction, measurement and experimentation, with the mix depending on the particular project. In addition, students will learn to conduct a critical literature review and enhance their communication skills through various presentations of their results. During the first trimester, a series of lectures will cover research and design methods, library/internet skills, presentation skills and report writing. Please Note: This 15 credit module is considered to be a research module. Therefore according to the UCD General Academic Regulation 5.7.5, the module "will not be passable by compensation".
