Biomedical Science and Technology is an interdisciplinary field that bridges life sciences and engineering. The course includes study of biology, chemistry, physics, calculus, biotech principles of design, materials science, biomechanics and life sciences.

A bioengineer or a biomedical Engineer applies mathematical and scientific principles to the design, development and evaluation of biological and health systems and products such as instrumentation, diagnostic aids, life-support systems, medical info systems, artificial organs, prosthetics and orthotic devices, health management and health care delivery systems.

Laboratories

Biomedical Engineers use engineering principles to understand, modify, control, or interact with biological systems, and develop technology to assist in diagnosis and treatment of patients. Biomedical engineering is an inter disciplinary branch of engineering, encompassing aspects of mechanical, mechatronic and electrical engineering as well as the biological sciences. It is offered as a stream within the Mechanical Engineering degree. Subjects in biomedical technology, biomechanics, biomaterials and orthopaedic engineering as well as research opportunities are available. This degree meets the tertiary study entry requirements for the Graduate Medical Program. Areas of study include biomedical design; biomedical engineering systems; medical technology; biology, anatomy and physiology; biomaterials; biomechanics, orthopaedic engineering; plus a thesis in fourth year.

Career opportunities:

Biomedical engineers work in similar areas to mechanical engineers, as well as in research, biomedical instrumentation design, ergonomics, safety, design, and marketing.
