what exactly is biomedical engineering? (1 Viewer)

[iheart1]

i am interested in it but I'm not really the physics type. more biology and not so good at super hands on computer stuff
thanks

yea i wanted to know as well

sorry boss but we dont get the best info out there asking an actual person who does the course would be helpful

 

[iheart1]

yeah I've read stuff on the internet but i think it is good to get current student opinions

I guess it depends on what particular area of biomedical engineering you are interested in, can you elaborate a bit more on what you mean by you are not really into physics? I know from a friend who is currently studying biomedical engineering that you do do a fair bit of maths in first year, and you learn about things such as fluid dynamics which is like physics but apply it to systems in the body, depending on what field you want to specialise in, all disciplines of engineering can be very involved in computer, whether it be modelling a particular biological system. Perhaps you could look at the course outline to give you a better idea of whether the topics seems interesting to last for a few years of study

If you don't like physics and computing, don't do it. You need both of those.

Not that hard to find out about it on the usyd and unsw websites. i managed to do it fine

what if u like physics chem maths but not 2 much on computing
