In this course you will be taught a wide range of engineering skills and you will learn how to use them to study human physiology or design medical devices.  The objectives of the Medical Engineering programme are: to provide students with a solid background in the design and analysis of civil engineering structures; to build engineering skills of critical importance when working in industry, including the ability to break a complex engineering problem into its component parts, to sketch/model engineering solutions and to be able to understand and prepare technical reports; to nurture computer modelling skills by encouraging students to develop their own software with the final purpose of analysing realistic civil engineering problems; and to build critical awareness of the advantages and disadvantages of different design approaches when facing a civil engineering problem, including aspects such as environmental constraints, economy or health and safety. The year in industry can be undertaken in the UK or overseas. The advantages of the placement year are extensive. The MEng Medical Engineering at Swansea University is accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of fully meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer.
