Biomedical engineering

at Trinity College Dublin The University of Dublin

Course topics include areas of mechanical, manufacturing, and electronic engineering, specialised topics in biomedical engineering and courses in basic medical and biological sciences. Example biomedical courses include:

Biomechanics, Biomaterials, Anatomy and Physiology, Cell and Molecular Biology, Medical Device Design, Tissue Engineering, Neural Engineering, Medical Imaging

In the third year you will study technical courses in both mechanical/manufacturing engineering and electronic engineering, along with courses in anatomy and physiology. In the fourth year and (optional) master’s (fifth) year you will study a range of technical subjects, including the specialised subject of biomedical engineering

Project work is an important aspect of this degree and there is an extensive research facility available to students. You will carry out several projects, including a major Capstone research project in your final year. Examples of final-year projects include:
 

• Design of a branch stent for abdominal aortic aneurysm

• Finite Element Modelling of 3D Printed Scaffolds for Bone Tissue Engineering

• Next Generation Hearing Prostheses: Improved decoding of attentional selection in a cocktail party environment

• Determination of the effect of freezing on the mechanical properties of decellularised arteries

• Head kinematics in contact sports
