Biomedical engineering is the application of engineering techniques and analyses to problem-solving in medicine and the biomedical sciences. In most aspects of health care, disease prevention and treatment, or rehabilitation, there are problems that require an engineering approach.

These may include developing systems to maintain and enhance life, designing replacement parts for people, or creating systems to allow people with disabilities to use computers for work and communication. The growing complexity of medical technology has increased the demand for appropriately trained professionals to bridge the gap between clinical medicine and applied medical technology. These personnel must be capable of defining a medical problem in engineering science terms and of finding a solution that satisfies both engineering and medical requirements. Such trained personnel constitute the core of biomedical engineers. The Bionic Eye Project is an example of combining Computing with a Masters of Biomedical Engineering.

This combined degree option is suited to high-ability students who wish to combine undergraduate study in both engineering and commerce. This is a unique opportunity to develop of technical skills in the area of Bioinformatics, Computer or Software Engineering along with business skills from the broad range of

business and management disciplines offered in the Faculty of Commerce and Economics. Possible major commerce sequences must be complementary to the engineering program. Commerce provides a solid grounding in the business disciplines of accounting, economics and quantitative analysis, and then offers a broad choice of specialist programs.

The Faculty of Engineering at UNSW is the pre-eminent engineering faculty in Australasia and offers the widest choice of Bachelor of Engineering degrees. The Faculty is a leader of IT education and was the first to offer degrees in Computer Engineering and Software Engineering. Combining these strengths in engineering and IT education, the Faculty of Engineering offers a comprehensive range of combined degrees of Bachelor of Engineering (BE) and Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Computer Science. These five-year degrees are aimed at satisfying the growing need for engineers who are also computing specialists.

As part of the BE requirements, students undertake a thesis project in which they spend a substantial part of a year solving a realistic engineering problem. Students in the combined BE BSc (Computer Science)

programs are encouraged to work on projects that integrate their expertise in computing with their knowledge of an engineering domain problem. Because these degrees provide an accredited engineering qualification along with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, graduates have the flexibility to pursue a career as either a professional engineer or an IT professional.

Admission to the BE BSc (Computer Science) is available to students who have a UAI of 80 or greater. Students should apply for the combined degree. Note that it is not possible to combine the BSc in Computer Science with the degrees in Computer Engineering, Bioinformatics or Software Engineering.

UNSW COMPUTING has strong connections with the College of Fine Arts (COFA), and has now introduced a combined 4-year undergraduate degree program in computer science and digital media. For students with an interest in the development and use of computer graphics, this combined degree will be very appealing. The increasing use of computer graphics and special effects in the leisure and entertainment industries indicates a need for graduates with strengths in both the technical and creative components of computer graphics, and associated areas including narrative, lighting and sound. This combined program will address that need by providing a strong foundation in both the technical and creative use of computers, with specialisation available through the selection of electives from second semester in the second year of study. *Honours can be undertaken in this program. Honours will be determined by a further year of full-time study (or its part-time equivalent) consisting of the Honours requirements for either the BSc in Computer Science or the BDM.
