What you will learn?
Junior Year
-
All admitted students will embark on a Common Year 1 curriculum within the Faculty of Engineering, which provides them with foundational knowledge of engineering technology.
-
Year 2 subjects further establish students’ fundamental knowledge more specific to sports science (e.g. anatomy and physiology) and biomedical engineering (e.g. bioelectronic and biomechatronics), preparing them for the more advanced subjects in the next two years.
Senior Year
-
Year 3 subjects further strengthen students’ knowledge of sports science and technology. Students gain the opportunity to combine sports science and engineering concepts, while also developing critical inquiry and thinking skills. A unique feature of our curriculum is the two-semester "Biomedical Engineering Innovation for the Community" subject in Year 3. This gives students the chance to build innovative exercise device prototypes for those in need. Starting in Year 3, students can select elective subjects according to their aspirations. Additionally, biomedical engineering internships are arranged during the summer semester, broadening students' real-world experience in the field.
-
Year 4 subjects provide students the opportunities to synthesize their learning, solve complex problems, and prepare for the next step – whether that is launching their sports science and technology careers, or pursuing further education. Students continue to select elective subjects and a Capstone project aligned with their strengths and interests.
Sports science and technology is a fast-growing field with a surging demand for Sports Product Specialists and Engineers to apply and develop the related innovative technologies and optimise human interaction and athletic performance within the world of sports. Our students have opportunities to take subjects in both sports science and engineering, and to integrate their learned knowledge into interdisciplinary applications to enhance athletic performance and safety as well as revolutionalise sports management.
Graduates will
- possess a solid foundation in both sports science knowledge and engineering technologies;
- understand the sports-related issues that motivate the evolutions of technologies and engineering solutions;
- be able to develop and apply engineering technologies in areas such as sports product design, sports instrumentation and sensors, measurement and data analytics, and sports engineering for the purposes of enhancing sports performance and safety so as to improve the overall health of the population;
- become future socially-responsible leaders in the sports science and technology profession who are self-motived inquirers, critical thinkers, innovative problem solvers, effective communicators and collaborators, lifelong learners, and ethical practitioners
