Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Medical)

Integrate engineering principles with human physiology to design systems and equipment. Undertake professional experience as well as site visits and industry-based projects. During this degree you'll undertake professional experience and other hands-on activities such as hospital and industry site visits. There is also the possibility of involvement in industry-based projects, overseas study, work opportunities and ground-breaking research through the QUT Institute of Health and Biomedical Innovation, and the QUT Medical Engineering Research Facility. Medical engineers work with doctors and medical scientists to design, manufacture and maintain medical equipment to improve health care and medical services. The discipline applies engineering and scientific methods to find solutions to problems in medicine and the life sciences.  Medical engineering integrates engineering principles with human physiology to design, manufacture, install, monitor and maintain medical and surgical equipment. Medical engineers are responsible for the safe and effective operation of equipment such as monitoring, diagnostic and therapeutic medical equipment ranging from CT scanners to kidney dialysis machines.
