Fix this textSEN. CARRICK ON CAMPUS
Fix this textThe Commonwealth Minister for Education, Senator John
Fix this textCarrick, made a visit to the University on 28 October.
Fix this textThe Vice-Chancellor, Professor Rupert Myers, provided
Fix this textthe following account of the Minister's visit for UNI KEN.
Fix this text“After being welcomed to the University, Senator Carrick
Fix this texthad morning tea with the President of the Students'
Fix this textUnion, Ms Anne Fitzpatrick, the President-elect, Mr Paul
Fix this textMulroney, and the Education Vice-President-elect,
Fix this textMr Mitchell O'Toole.
Fix this text"In response to queries from the students, the Minister
Fix this textsaid that regulations spelling out details relating to the
Fix this textrecently announced revisions to the Tertiary Education
Fix this textAssistance Scheme would be announced within a few
Fix this textweeks. He also offered to meet the Students' Union
Fix this textPresident at any mutually convenient time to discuss
Fix this textproblems which students might be experiencing.
Fix this text"After morning tea. Senator Carrick made a walking tour
Fix this textof the campus. The Minister showed special interest in the
Fix this textvery substantial element of self-help the University had
Fix this textshown in its attack on the car parking problem.
Fix this text"He was particularly impressed with the multi storey car
Fix this textpark which the University has erected and with the fact
Fix this textthat another two floors are being added, work having
Fix this textbegun on the morning of his visit.
Fix this text"I raised with Senator Carrick the concern that the
Fix this textUniversity was feeling over the supplementation of
Fix this textrecurrent grants to meet wage and materials cost increases.
Fix this textThe Minister said he expected to make a statement on this
Fix this textmatter shortly.
Fix this text"Among other matters discussed with senior colleagues
Fix this textand me were the role of universities and the changes likely
Fix this textto occur as a result of technological developments in
Fix this textcommunication, Senator Carrick having seen something of
Fix this textthe aids available in places liT<e~the Library to assist
Fix this textstudents with their learning.
Fix this text"The visit of the Minister passed off without incident".
Fix this textENGINEERING & THE
Fix this textBODY
Fix this textThe University has established a Centre for Biomedical
Fix this textEngineering for inter-disciplinary studiesand developments
Fix this textinvolving the Faculties of Engineering, Medicine, Biological
Fix this textSciences and Applied Science.
Fix this textThe Centre's Co-ordinator, Mr Peter Bason, Senior
Fix this textLecturer in Electrical Engineering, says that the Centre is
Fix this textassociated with a considerable amount of biomedical
Fix this textengineering work in the University.
Fix this textIt is also a link between campus facilities and expertise,
Fix this textand research in the University's teaching and associated
Fix this texthospitals. Work in the orthopaedic, cardiovascular, renal
Fix this textand neuromuscular areas is benefitting from this
Fix this textcollaboration.
Fix this textMr Bason says that the Centre can collect and disseminate
Fix this textinformation, facilitate meetings between researchers in
Fix this textdifferent disciplines, initiate or collaborate in research or
Fix this textdevelopment programs and generally help where necessary.
Fix this textPlanning is well advanced for a two-year, full-time post-
Fix this textgraduate course in the Faculty of Engineering leading to
Fix this textthe degree of Master of Biomedical Engineering. The
Fix this textproposal is expected to go to Professorial Board and
Fix this textCouncil in 1977. If approved, it may be possible to take
Fix this textthe first students in 1978.
Fix this textThe Centre is also co-operating in the organisation of a
Fix this textmajor conference to be held in the University next August
Fix this textat which representatives from around Australia will meet
Fix this textto establish an authority to plan and co-ordinate rehabilit-
Fix this textation engineering activity throughout the country.
Fix this textThe Centre has existed on an informal basis since August
Fix this text1974 butonly received formal assent in September this year.
Fix this textThe Mechanical Engineering extension houses a temporary
Fix this textoffice and laboratories for the Centre, as well as a resource
Fix this textcentre comprising a collection of relevant theses, books,
Fix this textarticles and other publications.
Fix this textThe Chairman of the Centre's Management Committee,
Fix this textProfessor Noel Svensson, in a report on Centre activities,
Fix this textsays that it intends to develop laboratories for specific
Fix this textstudies involving patients undergoing treatment. These
Fix this textlaboratories would complement existing University
Fix this textfacilities. Other laboratories would be developed in the
Fix this textUniversity's teaching hospitals, bringing about a closer
Fix this textlink between biomedical engineering and the clinical
Fix this textaspects of patient care.
Fix this textA major project already undertaken under the auspices of
Fix this textthe Centre is the design of total hip joint prostheses (see
Fix this textUNIKEN 7/76). To ascertain the principles that must be
Fix this textobserved in the design and implementation of the
Fix this textprosthesis, studies have been made of stress distribution in
Fix this textthe femur. A similar study of stress in the pelvis is also
Fix this textunder way.
Fix this textA biomedical engineering group within the School of
Fix this textChemical Engineering is primarily concerned with the
Fix this textoptimal long-term replacement of kidney function.
Fix this textIn the School of Electrical Engineering the Centre has
Fix this textbeen involved in both basic and applied medical research.
Fix this textCompleted projects include a number of electronic devices
Fix this textto assist in medical applications. Current investigations
Fix this textinclude the control of the heart rate by external stimuli
Fix this textand the development of a model which predicts normal
Fix this textand anomalous beating of the heart.
