The overall objective of the Accredited Master of Engineering (Biomedical) is to produce AQF Level 9 graduates who can apply specialised engineering knowledge and skills to solving problems in health. A major objective of this program is to develop a mutual understanding between engineering and health professionals to facilitate the application of engineering analysis and concepts in medicine to improve health outcomes. The stream emphasises the basic sciences while also giving students opportunities to apply their specialist knowledge in biomedical engineering to solve a wide variety of problems in clinical medicine. On completion of the program, it is expected that graduates will have expert knowledge across a breadth and depth of topics in biomedical engineering and will have specialist expertise in at least one of the major specialties in biomedical engineering.
They will be able to analyse, reflect and synthesise information from across engineering, medicine and science and apply their knowledge and skills to develop engineering solutions in clinical medicine and the biological sciences. Graduates of the stream will also be expected to be able to communicate their knowledge, skills and ideas effectively and efficiently to specialist and non-specialist audiences.
