Biomedical engineers are people-oriented.
They are responsible for the design or provision of a wide range of sophisticated patient monitoring, diagnostic and therapeutic medical equipment in hospitals, and for devices to assist in home-based health care and rehabilitation. Biomedical engineers design rehabilitation equipment to assist people with disabilities, including prosthetic and orthotic devices and sensory or control systems. Flinders biomedical engineering graduates also find ready employment in electronic engineering and information technologies. In first year, students build on their physics and mathematics while developing skills in professional engineering analysis, design and project work. They acquire advanced skills and knowledge in communication and control systems, instrumentation, signal processing, and microcomputer-based systems.
