Flinders Biomedical Engineering (FBE) provides practical sessions to support formal tertiary biomedical engineering courses and can custom design courses to suit specific needs. Contact FBE Director for a practical course tailored to your requirements.

 

 


Biomedical Engineering students from Flinders University
receive practical training at FBE

Custom-made courses

Custom-made short courses or full extension programs can be developed for companies and organisations. The courses are conducted by senior practising biomedical engineering staff. Students are tutored on the theory of biomedical technology and then exposed to hands-on practical sessions.

Short courses previously provided include:

Practical sessions for formal tertiary education

Flinders Biomedical Engineering support Biomedical Engineering courses provided by Flinders University with practical sessions. The School of Informatics and Engineering at Flinders University offers formal tertiary programs in biomedical engineering. Courses offered include: Bachelor of Science / Bachelor of Engineering (Biomedical) double degree program, Master of Engineering, Doctor of Philosophy. FBE also provides specialist training to BHSc (Ambulance undergraduates) and medical students.


Work placement

Often the best form of tuition is through student placement in a working environment. Work placement provides comprehensive training in not only medical technology topics, but also in the day-to-day practices of a busy biomedical engineering department.

FBE provides placements (unpaid) for 20 week Industrial Affiliates Programs and Cooperative Work Experience for students studying Biomedical Engineering.  These placements can be in Biomedical Device Support or in Research and Development with a specific engineering or clinical project to complete.
