Program: 8538 - Engineering Science
Award(s):
Master of Engineering Science (Specialisation)
Information valid for students commencing 2013.
Students who commenced prior to 2013 should go to the Handbook's Previous Editions
Stream Outline
The specialisation in Biomedical Engineering is designed to introduce engineers from various disciplines to the application of engineering techniques and analyses to problem solving in medicine and the biomedical sciences. The growing complexity of medical technology has increased the demand for biomedical engineers to bridge the gap between clinical medicine and applied medical technology.
Stream Structure
Students undertake courses in Biomedical Engineering and the Faculty of Engineering. The Biomedical Engineering specialisation is not available as a Master of Engineering Science Extension.
