In this course, you will begin to develop the skills to design and develop equipment and technologies that improve the lives of people affected by medical conditions. This course introduces the interface between engineering and the human body and the basic principles of anatomy and physiology. It will provide the foundational knowledge required for the program-specific application of biomedical engineering in the human body.

The course provides a broad introduction, as it applies, to future specialisation into biomedical electronics, lab on a chip, biosensors, implant engineering, assistive technologies and medical materials.

This course includes a work integrated learning experience in which your knowledge and skills will be applied and assessed in a real or simulated workplace context and where feedback from industry and/ or community is integral to your experience.
