Module Details
INDICATIVE CONTENT
This module introduces students to the underlying physical principles used in hospital equipment. Students will be able to describe and demonstrate their understanding of the various principles by relating to practical applications in the appropriate medical device/equipment.
The module will cover the following topics:
Physical Properties of fluids and gases. (MGPS, Decon, HVAC)
- Fluid Dynamics
- Gas Laws
- Heat Transfer
Engineering materials in Hospital Systems. (Water, MGPS, Decon)
Chemical properties of fluids, gasses and materials.(Water, MGPS, Decon)

ADDITIONAL ASSESSMENT DETAILS
An assignment (1500 words) assessing Learning outcomes 1 and 2.
LEARNING STRATEGIES
Students will be introduced to this module, its assessment requirements and learning strategies at a residential study weekend, where there will also be initial training relating to this module.
An online module handbook and workbook will be provided which will guide students through each topic. Series of tasks which will give structure to independent academic study, research and work based investigation and practical work based learning.
The student will engage with Moodle site for this module to cover the learning material which includes documents, videos, exercises, reflection, formative and summative assignments. This will occupy the independent study time.
Contact time at Eastwood Park will be used to reinforce the learning by carrying out practical activities and measurements.
