One of the following streams
A student must normally achieve a weighted mean grade of 60 or above at Level 1 and Level 2 in order to proceed to the Year in Industry, progression being at the discretion of the Bioengineering Board of Examiners. A student who fails to progress may be permitted to become instead a student for the Degree of BEng Bioengineering (BIEU20) or, at the discretion of the Bioengineering Board of Examiners, for the Degree of MEng Bioengineering (BIEU19).
A student will be responsible for securing a suitable industrial placement in order to take BIE390 Bioengineering Year in Industry. The appropriateness of the placement will be determined by the Bioengineering Director of Undergraduate Studies. A student who fails to obtain a suitable placement will instead be required to become a student for the Degree of BEng Bioengineering (BIEU20). A student will take BIE390 Year in Industry before proceeding to Level 3.
BIE390 requires that a student will spend a minimum of 38 weeks working in an industrial establishment, the arrangements being subject to the approval of the Bioengineering Director of Undergraduate Studies. The Year in Industry will be assessed on (a) written reflections on a skills-based placement journal; (b) two written reports; and (c) a post-placement presentation. No grades will be awarded for the Year in Industry which will be assessed on a pass/fail basis. A student who fails to satisfy these requirements may be permitted by the Faculty to become instead a student for the Degree of BEng Bioengineering (BIEU20).
