About this course
Bachelor of Engineering in Biomedical Engineering (Mechanics and Materials), an undergraduate degree in the Biomedical Engineering (Mechanics and Materials) subject area, focuses on medical and healthcare technologies. Core topics include Programming, Systems Design, Control Systems, Data Analysis, Mathematical Modelling, Accounting, and Engineering Design. Students undertake design-build-test projects during the first two years and complete an individual project in the final year. The first year covers the foundations through An Introduction to Engineering Design, Data Science and Computing for Engineers, Electrical and Electronics Systems, and Mechanics, Structures and Materials. The second year progresses with Biomedical Engineering Research, Design and Practice, Electronics and Control, Engineering Management and Law, and Systems Design and Computing. The third year builds advanced knowledge through Biomaterials, Engineering Design with Management, Human Factors in Engineering, Individual Project, and Orthopaedic Biomechanics. Optional modules allow specialisation in areas such as Biomedical Spectroscopy and Imaging, Computational Biology, Finite Element Analysis in Solid Mechanics, Manufacturing and Materials, and Robotic Systems.
