About this course

Overview

The Biomechanics Minor is designed to provide students with the necessary skills in biomechanical systems and apply them to engineering in health, sports medicine and related health sciences. The Minor develops knowledge and skills in human movement, human biology and the mechanics of human movement. Graduates are well-equipped with the tools to understand how engineering can assist in assistive technology, rehabilitation, sports medicine and occupational therapy.

What you'll learn
  • have demonstrated some knowledge and understanding of human movement and the biology related to movement, typically an a clinical level but not necessarily at the forefront of knowledge, GC1
  • can apply their knowledge and understanding in a manner that indicates a professional approach to the field and have developing competencies typically demonstrated through devising and sustaining arguments (to both specialist and non-specialist audiences) and solving straightforward problems within Biomechanical systems, including using digital technologies, GC2, GC3
  • can gather and interpret relevant data within Biomechanical systems to inform judgements that include some reflection on relevant social, scientific, or ethical issues related to Biomechanical systems, GC4, GC5
  • demonstrate a developing standard of professional behaviour, including effective time management, both independently and as a team member, GC6
