DC197 - Biomedical Engineering

Programme Orientation: IGNITE

IGNITE is a first year Faculty of Engineering and Computing programme that starts with Orientation and continues throughout the year across a number of modules and activities. The aim of IGNITE is to ensure that positive active engagement is fired from the day you join the Faculty and through the crucial early stages of University, so that positive learner behaviours are established and you are empowered to be successful. It focuses on improving and enhancing your learning experience, behaviours and mind-set and your sense of belonging, confidence, trust and the connection among each other and with staff.
