Overview
Is a Biomedical Engineering Technology degree for You?
The medical field is changing rapidly, and new technology are being introduced that have the potential to completely alter how treatments are delivered. Biomedical engineering technology is responsible for some of the most exciting medical technology advances, and is also one of the most rapidly growing fields in medicine and technology.
At UoC, you will gain exposure to and experience a variety of medical devices and equipment, including patient monitors, electrocardiographs, infusion devices, ventilators, patient-care computers, and other related medical devices.
Our biomedical engineering technology degree programme provides an in-depth knowledge of various fields within the biomedical engineering technology sphere such as medical instrumentation, biomechanics, biomaterials, medical imaging and image processing, biomedical signal processing, biomedical computing and simulation, and biomedical electronic circuit.
Our Bachelor of Biomedical Engineering Technology (Honours) programme is accredited by Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM) and recognised by Sydney Accord. The programme has been accredited for a duration of six years, a testament to the significant impact on the quality and standards of our education. The Sydney Accord is an international alliance of agreement that recognises the equivalence of engineering technology academic programmes, ensuring that graduates from signatory countries have comparable skills and qualifications.
Course Structure
Course Description
The Bachelor of Biomedical Engineering Technology programme at UoC is a four-year programme that prepares graduates to become competent and committed biomedical technology engineers with the ability to apply technical knowledge in designing, analysing, repairing, and solving problems. Graduates also become skilled engineering technologists, combining exposure and experience with a wide range of equipment and apparatus, including patient monitors, electrocardiographs, infusion devices, blood-gas analyzers, patient-care computers, and other related medical devices and equipment.
Course Training and Practical
The Biomedical Engineering Technology degree programme in UoC is structured with 60% technical and practical courses/content and 40% theoretical courses/content. At the final semester, students will be exposed to laboratory sessions and technical courses such as Medical Devices Maintenance and Repair. There will also be 28 weeks dedicated to complete Final Year Project 1 and 2. The curriculum is designed to expose students to the necessary experience and technical aspects before they enter the industry fields.
Students will also have Industrial Training at private or government hospitals. Practical training can also take place at organisations that manufacture medical devices or are related to the bioengineering medical field.
