Courses Highlights

MEDE3002 Final Year Project

Project Presentation

This is a core course for final year students. Medical Engineering final year project (FYP) provides students with an opportunity to pursue their own research interest under the supervision of teachers from Engineering & Medicine. Students are also required to present a dissertation or report on a topic consisting of design, experimental or analytical investigations.

Six hours of lecturing was introduced in 2010-2011, to discuss topics such as (1) biomedical literature search; (2) experimental designs to address medical problems or questions; (3) data analysis and interpretation; and (4) medical engineering report preparation and presentation.
