纽卡斯尔大学

At UON we train engineers capable of solving the world’s greatest challenges. As a graduate of our Bachelor of Medical Engineering (Honours), you can make medical treatment more effective, efficient, safer and more affordable, and will be uniquely placed to save and improve lives.

What is medical engineering?

Students who study our medical engineering degree will learn to apply engineering principles and design processes to find innovative solutions to healthcare problems. They bring their creativity, critical thinking, and complex problem solving skills to developing and improving technology and human systems in medical settings. They need to have strong people skills and be particularly adept at working in interdisciplinary teams.

What you will study

Build critical medical and engineering skills by studying through courses in:

• human pathophysiology
• engineering mathematics
• electronics
• physics
• analog and digital communications
• procedural programming
• pharmacology
• exercise physiology
• electrical engineering design
• neurobiology

Connect with industry through guest lectures and interdisciplinary projects solving real world problems. Gain invaluable practical medical experience through your industry placement.

Become job-ready through our professional practice courses. You'll learn to tackle ‘wicked problems’ and develop essential workplace skills in finance, project management, sustainability, communication and entrepreneurism.

Engineering technological solutions to health and medical problems is a rapidly growing global field. Students gain fundamental knowledge in science and mathematics, engineering design paradigms and human biosciences, together with a technical specialisation in a chosen major in one of the four key domains: medical devices (micro and nano electro-mechanical sensing systems); medical computing (medical data analytics, e-Health); medical biomechanics (prostheses design); or medical image and signal analysis.

Program learning outcomes

On successful completion of the program students will have:

• Comprehensive, theory based understanding of engineering fundamentals and/or the underpinning natural and physical sciences as applicable to the engineering discipline
• Conceptual understanding of the, mathematics, numerical analysis, statistics, and computer and information sciences which underpin the engineering discipline.

Majors

Students have the option to study four available medical engineering majors for this degree:

• Medical Devices
• Medical Biomechanics
• Medical Signal Analysis
• Medical Computing.
