Part IIA

There is a growing need for a more integrated approach to the understanding of biological systems, providing many opportunities for the application of engineering to clinical and life sciences. Engineering for the Life Sciences is a rapidly growing field encompassing the use of engineering tools to solve problems in medicine and biology as well as new quantitative approaches to biological systems based on engineering principles.
These topics complement those from the core Engineering Area

Students intending to qualify in this Engineering Area must include at least 6 of the modules listed above and must take at least three modules from 3G1, 3G3, 3G3, 3G4 & 3G5.

The modules particularly focus on the application of mechanics and information processing to the Life Sciences. The module section allows those who wish to specialise in Mechanics and the Life Sciences to take modules such as 3G1, 3G2, 3G4, 3G5, 3C7 & 3D7 and those who wish to specialise in Information Processing and the Life Sciences to take modules such as 3G1, 3G2, 3G3, 3G4, 3F1 & 3F3. For those who would like a broad draining in both mechanics and information processing a combination of the above modules can be selected.
