New Biotronics Major
The health care industry needs doctors, nurses – and engineers. There is demand for people who design, build and maintain machines that save people’s lives or help keep them alive - equipment such as incubators for premature babies, dialysis systems for people with kidney disease, scanners and heart monitors.
Such people are electrical engineers with knowledge of how the human body works. AUT Engineering School offers a specialised major in Biotronic Engineering that meets these needs.
The biotronic engineering major focuses on integrating electronic and computer systems engineering with human anatomy, physiology and medical terminology to solve problems related to medical systems and devices. So if you’re interested in human biology but you’re into designing and making things too – biotronic engineering may be for you.
The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) is a four degree designed for students who wish to become professional engineers and prepares graduates for membership of the Institute of Professional Engineers of New Zealand (IPENZ).
