Learning outcomes
Apply the knowledge of stress-strain relations to calculate the mechanical properties of biomaterials for biomedical applications.
Evaluate biomechanical problems and formulate solutions by applying modelling tools and analytical methodologies such as finite element analysis.
Appreciate the role of mechanical behaviour of cells, tissues and organs in the biological processes of the human body.
Justify through presentations, the mechanical basis of designs of biomedical devices to a wide audience.
Function as an effective team member by participating in all group activities and conducting regular self- and peer-assessment of individual and team performance.

Assessment summary
Continuous assessment: 40%
Final assessment: 60%
This unit contains threshold hurdle requirements that you must achieve to be able to pass the unit. You are required to achieve at least 45% in the total continuous assessment component and at least 45% in the final assessment component. The consequence of not achieving a hurdle requirement is a fail grade (NH) and a maximum mark of 45 for the unit.
