RMIT University

In this course student will learn to design a wide range of devices like cardiac monitors, clinical computers, artificial hearts, wheelchairs and artificial tendons and limbs. Increasingly complex technology is used in medical roles, and there is growing demand for technically skilled people who can design and improve devices and who understand the relationship between technology and clinical medicine. Student will study electronics, mechanical, chemical and materials engineering and biomedical sciences. Student will develop problem-solving and communication skills to help think critically and independently. Student will come up with innovative ways to apply science and engineering to biomedical and health care.
Higher Mathematics or VCE Mathematical Methods (CAS).
In this course the major studies include designing of cardiac monitors, clinical computers, artificial hearts, wheelchairs and artificial tendons and limbs. Electronics, mechanical, chemical and materials engineering and biomedical sciences is also studied in this course. Development of communication and problem solving tacts are also studied.
Student must have successfully completed an Australian Year 12 or an equivalent senior secondary school qualification with a minimum average of 65%.For information on international qualifications and corresponding entry requirements that are equivalent to an Australian Year 12, see the Entry requirements by country web page. Equivalent qualifications may also include completion of the RMIT Foundation Studies program or a recognised post secondary diploma in the relevant discipline with the required grades.
Graduates can apply for graduate membership of Engineers Australia and will be recognised as professional engineers in all member countries of the Washington Accord
The vibrant and expanding biotechnology industry produces devices for medical electronics, clinical and rehabilitation engineering and biomaterials. Its one of Australias biggest industries in terms of research and government funding. Typically students will work in: hospitals (servicing and optimising equipment), medical device manufacturing, nanotechnology, biotechnology. Student can be employed as a regulator in government organisations, or as a researcher for government, universities or private companies. Student can also work in private medical and pathology laboratories.
4 years full-time, Please note: a small number of courses are delivered at the Bundoora campus.Inter
