I am looking to do Biomedical engineering at either UQ or QUT. I do Biology, physics, chemistry, maths and maths extension in Qld. I was just wondering what were the main streams of study in biomedical engineering. Is it more biology + physics or is there chemistry involved too? If any current engineering students have any knowledge about it, their input would be helpful. Thanks

QUT medical engineering major is in the mechanical stream, UQ has a major in electrical and biomedical or minors in biomed with mechatronics or computer systems. I'm doing engineering at either QUT or UQ next year to. Pretty sure they're mostly physics, engineering science and biol - not much chem, but the biol and materials would probably involve a bit of chem.

UQ also has Chemical and Biological - thats probably wat ur looking for.

yea, lol of course my user name. Yeah for me its biochemical engineering or biomedical engineering at UQ.

have u got the UQ engineering booklet?
it's in there if not this is what it has

biotechnology (included areas) -
-chemical
- chemical and biological
- electrical and biomedical
- materials
- mechanical
- mechatronic
- software

biomed and health industries
-chemical
- chem and biological
- civil
- computer systemselectrical
- electrical and aerospace
- electrical and biomed
- mechanical
- mechatronis
- software
- software systems and aerospace

sounds like you might be taking the chemical and biological program. which consists of
year 1
-general chem
-principles of molecular biotech
-intro to professional engineering
-engineering thermodynamics
-human bio
-calculus and linear algebra 1
-multiderivative calculus and ordinary differential equations.
the other years a seem to just be advancements on these year one topics.

Yeah I have the UQ engineering booklet. By the way, is the first year generic for all streams?? that is where everyone has to do the same basics before choosing a major?

dnt know
my friend who is doing 1st year engineering this year at UQ said u dnt chose the major until secind year...
but that doestn say if they all do same subs

There are two first year streams if you dont want to select your major from the start. One stream leads to electrical, computer and software related majors and the other leads to civil, chemical, materials and mechanical related majors.

It tells you about the streams near the start of the engineering booklet.
