Bachelor of Engineering Honours

Biomedical Engineering stream

Overview

The Bachelor of Engineering Honours (Biomedical) is concerned with the study of biomedical technology, bioelectronics, biomechanics, biomaterials, nanoscale biotechnology and medical device engineering

Biomedical engineering combines knowledge of electronic, mechanical, chemical and materials engineering, with the life sciences of medicine, biology and molecular biology. Biomedical devices support and enhance human life, help individuals to overcome physical disabilities, aid in delivering medical procedures, and test and deliver data which improve health and safety.

Biomedical engineers work with doctors and medical scientists, researching and designing ways to improve health care and medical services. They may be involved in the development of medical products and different types of equipment used to monitor and treat patients, and in designing and improving equipment for individuals suffering from various medical conditions.
