Aim

The program aims to prepare students for professional careers in engineering and medical sciences and develop skills to investigage, plan, design, manufacture and maintain systems and equipment used in all aspects of helath care.

Content & Structure

The program has been devised to give a very broad engineering knowledge in the first 2 years so that graduates have an extensive understanding of basic fundamentals and an appreciation of the diversity of engineering.  The first year contains study in fundamental science and engineering courses including electrical and engergy systems and mathematics.  The second year builds on this base with courses dealing with a variety of areas including biomechanics, human physiology and biomedical instrumentation.  Students then transfer to Flinders University to complete their award.

  • Rules & notes minus-thick plus-thick

    Rules

    1. The first two years of this award are undertaken at University of South Australia, Mawson Lakes and City East campuses and the third and fourth years are undertaken at Flinders University. The award is confered by Flinders University.

    2. The first year of the program is similar to the first year of all other University of South Australia Engineering awards and students may transfer to another University of South Australia Engineering award after one year.

    3. Students achieving a credit level average or better at the end of the third year will be allowed to enrol in the honours degree program in Engineering in their final year. Other students will be able to complete the ordinary degree program. Students admitted to the honours degree program and maintaining a credit average or better will be awarded the degree of Bachelor of Engineering with Honours. Students who complete the honours degree program but who fail to maintain a credit average and students who complete the ordinary degree program will be awarded the ordinary degree of Bachelor of Engineering.

    4. Students who have successfully completed the first three years of the program (108 units) (plus Engineering Work Experiences, (0 units) if the practicum has not been completed) may exit with a Bachelor of Engineering Science.

    Notes

    1. Students may elect to do either an electronics option or a mechanical option within the degree. Where there is a choice of courses between these options, the elctronics option is given first and the mechanical option is given second.

    2. ENGR3403 may be taken any time after the student has completed 72 units, plus 13.5 units of CSEM upper-level topics. CSEM upper-level topics must be selected from COMP, ENGR, MATH and STAT topics at 2000-level and above.

    3. CSEM Option and Year 4 elective are chosen from a specified list of topics.

    4. The year 4 elective is chosen from across the University where entry requirements are met.
