Learning outcomes

Unit Learning Outcomes express learning achievement in terms of what a student should know, understand and be able to do on completion of a unit. These outcomes are aligned with the graduate attributes. The unit learning outcomes and graduate attributes are also the basis of evaluating prior learning.

On completion of this unit, students should be able to:

describe the characteristics and application of the main types of materials: masonry, metal, plastics and biomaterials

characterise the variable nature of biomaterials compared to other material types

evaluate the primary structure and properties of selected biomaterials, the techniques used to measure them and the applications of biomaterials in the human environment
