Medical engineering integrates engineering principles with human physiology to design, manufacture, install, monitor and maintain medical and surgical equipment. Medical engineers are responsible for the safe and effective operation of equipment such as monitoring, diagnostic and therapeutic medical equipment ranging from CT scanners to kidney dialysis machines. During this degree students will undertake professional experience and other hands-on activities such as hospital and industry site visits. There is also the possibility of involvement in industry-based projects, overseas study, work opportunities and ground-breaking research through the QUT Institute of Health and Biomedical Innovation, and the QUT Medical Engineering Research Facility.
