MEEN40630 Biomaterials
At the end of this module, it is anticipated that students will have obtained a detailed understanding the major classes of biomaterials (e.g. metals / alloys, ceramics / glasses, natural / synthetic / stimuli responsive polymers and composites thereof) and cell-derived devices used in medical device, pharmaceutical, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine sectors. It is also expected that the students will have obtained a detailed understanding of different biomaterial fabrication and characterisation methods, specific to a cell type and/or clinical indication. It is also expected that the students will have obtained a detailed understanding of biocompatibility, host response and implant failure mechanisms, as well as ethical considerations related to medical device development.

REVIEWSMODULE INFO
Very interesting module in terms of content but difficult to do. The final exam was very tough and comes down to pure memorisation of content - the lecturer goes through all of the relevant biology in one lecture and then expects you to have that learned off for all subsequent parts. Lecturer also had difficulty listening to concerns from the class.
