General Layout of the Course Core modules - 1st term: • Fundamentals - Mechanics & Circuitry (16.67%) • Probability & Statistics (8.33%) • Journal Club - Questionnaire & Presentation (8.33%) Elective Modules - 1 + 2 ndterm: 4 chosen (8.33% each) • Autumn term = Biomedical Imaging, Neuroscience, Medical Device Certification, Biomimetics, APMDA • Summer term = Orthopaedic Biomechanics, Biomedical Instrumentation, Image Processing, Tissue Engineering & Regenerative Medicine, Cellular Mechanotransduction, Bioeng Approaches to Cancer Project (33%) • Literature Highlights (10%) • Literature Mindmap (15%) • Project Pitch (20%) • Group Final Report (40%) • Brochure Pitch (15%) General Layout of the Course P&S Exam JC Quiz Fundamentals Lit. Highlights Exam Lit. Mindmap ± EM Exams ± EM Exams Oct. Nov. Dec. Jan. Feb. Mar. Apr. May Jun. Jul. JC Presentation Project Pitch Final Report Brochure Pitch + ELECTIVE MODULE COURSEWORKCore Modules AutumnFundamentals (EE) • Lecture slides are KEY • BB quizzes are usefulFundamentals (Mechanics) • Nic is really great at teaching this! • Problem sheets are very useful – make sure you understand EVERY problem as hard questions represent final exam level of difficulty • Links with Orthopaedic Biomechanics elective module (spring term) Fundamentals Progress Test (Jan.) – 30% • EE + Mechanics • Try to smash this Different for your year! Final paper (May.) – 70% • Very Hard • EE + Mechanics Journal Club Appraisal • 20% • Questionnaire • November-ish Presentation • 80% • 8 min. + 2 min. Q&A • December-ish SMASH THESE Probability & Statistics Lectures – Dr Van Batenburg slides + notes are very good. MATLAB NOT TESTED Problem sheets: • Easy at start, then get harder • Go to the study groups run by the GTAs to go over them January Exam Recommended reading: Any P&S book will be helpful.Elective Modules - AutumnElective Modules - Autumn • Principles of Biomedical Imaging • Neuroscience • Medical Device Certification • Advanced Physiological Monitoring & Data Analysis • Biomimetics Advanced Physiological Monitoring & Data Analysis Conceptually Hard Need understanding throughout MSc course - advanced Data Analysis (O’Hare) - P&S helps, but some extra concepts. Not too hard Analytical Chemistry (O’Hare) – Hard. Examinable extra reading Measurement of samples. (Boutelle) – Much easier Summer Exam – 100% Emily Tsui – Youtube Biomimetics Very interesting, learning from nature All group work Journal Club Presentation (20%) Paper released every week Brochure (80%) Due first week back from ChristmasElective Modules - SummerElective Modules - Summer • Orthopaedic Biomechanics • Biomedical Instrumentation • Image Processing • Tissue Engineering + Regenerative Medicine • Cellular Mechanotransduction • Bioengineering Approaches to Cancer Orthopaedic Biomechanics Spring term MSK physiology is rote learning Helps with fundamentals, real application! Coursework • Problem sheets (x3) - 24% Summer exam - 76% Orthopaedic Biomechanics Maths + medical theory - 3hrs a week • 2 lectures (medicine), 1 tutorial (maths) Problem sheets Maths best learned through problem sheets + tutorial Exam revision Medicine best learned through Anki/Brainscape Do the problem sheets with friends - do NOT adhere to ‘suggested’ word count Go to study groups as solutions aren’t posted onlineOrthopaedic Biomechanics Biomedical Instrumentation Electronics module - 3hrs a week 3 year Bioengineering module Produce a respirometer in labs Lab Exam report 50-50 split between lab report and exam Lectures build on Fundamentals Do lab report with friends • If you don’t finish, there are catchup sessions Exam = same structure as past papers Image Processing 8 Lectures, 8 online labs Quiz Quiz assesses ONLY labs Exam Exam assesses ONLY lectures • But there’s obviously overlap…. It’s the same content, just labs are practical applications Past papers = best exam practice • You will get a first if you just learn exam answers + technique…. Questions in mock quiz are likely to be in real quizTips for Project (1/3) Project Assessment Literature Highlights - Individual - Nov (10%) Literature Mindmap - Group - Nov (15%) Project Pitch - Group - Feb - Peer Marked (20%) INTER-GROUP Final Project - Group - April (40%) PEER ASSESSMENT Brochure Pitch - Group - June - Peer Marked (15%) Project General Tips START EARLY: It’s 1/3 OF THE YEAR Organisation: • Establish clear plan • Regular meetings with Supervisor • Divide up responsibilities + assign GROUP LEADER Work WITH the Bio-eng students: • Bio-eng students will have their strengths • You will have yours Project General Tips START EARLY: v e It’s 1/3 OF lhE YEARG ! • Establish cleaR plan • Regular oeeEings with Supervisor • Divide up Nesponsibilities + assign GROUP LEADER • Bio-eng students will have their strengths • You will have yours d o Project GeneraR Tips START EARLY: VE It’s 1/3 OFLYHEXYEGR • EstabSishPclear plan • RegularMmeEtings with Supervisor • DPvideOuI responsibilities + assign GROUP LEADER • Bio-Eng students will have their strengths • You will have yours Group Project - Project Pitch 5-minute elevator pitch for project • 30s extra but risky Pitch aims, key steps & timeline Project • Try to make as story-like as possible for flow Pitch Final Mindmap Report Peer-marked + Highlights Tip: do NOT stress about it. Only a 5-minute Brochure presentation + delegates easily among group 20% of total project mark Group Project - Final Report 40% of group project (=1.6x elective modules) 80% directly from report Project Pitch 20% from professionalism throughout entire project Final • Which is why being on time for meetings the whole year is Mindmap Report important! + Highlights Write a scientific report of your methods, results, Brochure discussion + conclusion Chip away at throughout term 2 & as you progress through your project Group Project - Final Report Stress-busting Project Pitch Majority of the year get a first in final report Final Mindmap Report + Getting ~70% average in group project before this, then a Highlights safe first in the report is incredible Brochure • + will take the load off exams! Stepping in to help others that don’t pull their weight is annoying…. But helps you as it’s a group mark Use appendices for extra information out of word count Group Project - Brochure Pitch 15% of total mark Make final report a brochure Project 2-sided, split into 3 on each side Pitch Final Mindmap Report Peer-assessed + Highlights Due a couple of weeks after exams... Brochure Quite easy marks… Pitch is last time you’ll be together with the bioengineers! Tips & More Stress-Busting Not every percent of the year is worth an equal amount of work… • Project Pitch vs Elective Modules Don’t let people get in your head… Bioeng is not as bad as everyone says (pray for management) • Just stay organised! • Even staff will say that if you miss a week at the start of term you fall behind (not true) Most people get firsts… and you will too!This is you for the year !Q&AThank You for Listening!
