Master of Engineering Master of Engineering Management - Biomedical Engineering

This program allows students to complete the Master of Engineering (ME) and the Master of Engineering Management (MEM) in two years of full-time study. The course follows an integrated approach to professional practice through professional engineering subjects, subjects relating to the major, an independent graduate project (in the area of the major), and a set of electives. This course is for professional engineers who want to combine the Master of Engineering with a specific major with the Master of Engineering Management. This enables students to gain both technical and management skills in an accelerated way and complete two courses in two years rather than three years individually.Biomedical engineers apply knowledge of engineering to the design and development of medical related products and systems. More specifically, biomedical engineers are responsible for developing biosensors, medical and physiological monitoring devices, prosthetic devices and artificial organs, physiological modelling, biomechanics or other assistive instrumentation. They are also increasingly engaged in conducting research that aims at improving the early detection of diseases, analyzing DNA sequence data.The biomedical engineering major will provide students with advanced knowledge of this discipline. Through practice-oriented learning, this major will help students develop the essential knowledge and skills specialised in Genomics and Bioinformatics, or 3D Bio nanotechnology or Bio-instrumentation. Graduates will have the opportunity to develop skills in using 3D CAD design (Solidworks), prototyping, building nano devices, designing sensors, molecular diagnostics (PCR and sequencing), bioinformatics and printing biomaterials applicable to improve human health. Subjects are being taught in an interactive, and studio-like format, which is focused on industry informed problems.Students who hold an undergraduate engineering degree are able to enhance their ability and knowledge through postgraduate-level studies in their respective majors, and gain knowledge and skills that enhance their ability to progress to engineering management roles.

Applicants must have completed a UTS recognised bachelor's degree, or an equivalent or higher qualification, or submitted other evidence of general and professional qualifications that demonstrates potential to pursue graduate studies.It is a requirement that the bachelor's degree be in engineering and relevant to the applicant's proposed major, with no more than 25 per cent of subjects failed.
