The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) is a four-year program that will prepare you for a career as an engineer. Depending on your choice of major, you might work anywhere from infrastructure and hospitals to energy and software. Choose one major, dual major or extended major from 18 different options. UQ is home to the largest number of engineering disciplines in Australia. Undertake a flexible first year, where you can mix and match introductory courses from across the majors to see what you like best. If you prefer, you can also enrol directly in your chosen major from day one. Graduate with a respected honours qualification, with advanced knowledge and skills that will set you apart in a competitive job market, prove your leadership material, and provide a pathway to future research or learning. Electrical and Biomedical Engineering (Dual Major) The Electrical and Biomedical Engineering major combine’s studies in electrical engineering with additional specialist study and project work in bioengineering. Biomedical engineering bridges the gap between technology, medicine and biology. It integrates physical, chemical, mathematical, and computational sciences and engineering principles with the ultimate goal of improving healthcare through advanced technology. From your first year, the dual major in Electrical and Biomedical Engineering builds foundational knowledge in engineering, mathematics, biology and physics. This is followed by more advanced coursework and laboratory training, combining engineering analysis and design techniques with the biology and physiology of cells and organisms. Career outcomes Electrical and biomedical engineers are involved in the design, construction and development of health and monitoring devices or diagnostic systems (such as CT, MRI or ultrasound), and therapeutic systems (such as surgical lasers and tissue engineering). Our graduates also work with computer models of the human body (such as the virtual heart project), and with prosthetics and implants (such as cardiac pacemakers, defibrillators and artificial organs). Employment opportunities include hospitals, biotechnology companies, medical equipment manufacturers, research institutes, and government health departments.
