    INDICATIVE KEY LEARNING RESOURCES 
    Students are provided with lecture slides, tutorials with worked solutions, tutorials with discussed solutions, previous exam questions with worked solutions, and references.

    CAREERS / INDUSTRY LINKS
    An understanding of prinicples and concepts related to fluid mechanics is critical for a range of engineering fields, including biomedical engineering. Biofludic mechanics accordingly deals with the physics and importance of fluid and fluid flow in the human body and systems related to biomedical devices. Students build their understanding of these key concepts to understand functioning of human fluid systems and biomedical devices, with relevance to industries in medical devices and services.
