Software Engineers are ultimately responsible for the usability, safety, and reliability of their products, which is particularly relevant for medical devices. For example, the Software Engineer must make sure that the system and its documentation are consistent, that the hardware configuration is appropriate to the task, that programs will behave as required, and that the system will meet all real-time deadlines and other performance requirements. Because they must understand what is going on outside the computer, not just the software, the Software and Biomedical Engineering program includes much more than software design; it prepares students for a career in a rapidly changing field by emphasising fundamental design principles, material that will still be useful and valid three decades from today.
