Thescope of the field is enormous but biomedicalengineers can expect to work on topics and inareas such as: developing systems to maintain andenhance life; designing and developing prostheses,artificial organs and organ replacement devices; anddesigning, developing and refining medical imagingsystems.Program StructureThe BE/MBiomedE program runs for five yearsfull time. The first year provides a grounding inmathematics, physics and basic classes in areassuch as chemistry, computing and basic researchand reporting skills. As students progress throughtheir following four years, an increasing number ofpostgraduate biomedical classes are added to theirprogram.Sample Program –Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical Engineering)/Master of Biomedical EngineeringYear 1Mathematics, Physics, Engineering Computing,Engineering Design, Engineering Mechanics,Engineering in Medicine and Biology, EngineeringMaterials and Chemistry, Design for ManufactureYear 2Engineering Mathematics, Electrical andTelecommunications Engineering, EngineeringMaterials and Chemistry, Numerical Methods andStatistics, Mechanics of Solids, Thermodynamics,Fluid Mechanics, Clinical Laboratory ScienceYear 3Engineering Design, Engineering Experimentation,Linear Systems and Control, Advanced Thermofluids,Engineering Mechanics 2, Principles of Physiology A,Biomedical Engineering or Principles of Physiology B,General Education coursesYear 4Mechanical Design 1, Computational Engineering,Mechanics of Solids 2, Professional Engineering,Engineering Management, Fundamentals ofAnatomy, Biomedical Engineering, Thesis AYear 5Professional Elective, Mechanical Design 2, Thesis B,Regulatory Requirements of Biotechnology,Biomedical Engineering Elective, BiomedicalEngineering Electives, Project ReportCareer OpportunitiesBiomedical engineers may seek work in any ofthe traditional areas associated with their chosenBachelor of Engineering discipline and also in publicand private medical research laboratories, medicaldevice industry, hospitals, universities, health caremanagement, and the bioprocessing, biomechanicaland biotechnology industries.Professional RecognitionThis degree is accredited by Engineers Australia.
