  This module will expand students understanding of basic audiological practice and supplementary material required, following on from module Introduction to Audiology Practice I.

• SHC142 Scientific Basis of Engineering

  This module will provide a foundation from which the student will build their knowledge, skills, experience and attitudes throughout their programme of study and transfer these skills to employment in healthcare science. The aim of the module is to enable the student to gain an understanding and working knowledge of essential electrical and electronic theory, as well as essential engineering mechanics, applied to Clinical Engineering. The aim of the work-based placements within the module is to provide the student with a broad appreciation of the range of work undertaken within healthcare science. Students will begin the process of the development of the skills and attitudes relevant to the HCSP, building on learning in the academic environment, including practical sessions, clinical skills sessions, reflection on development, etc. Additionally, it should help students learn in the context of practice and real-life experience and have a motivational element as they work towards a career in the NHS.
