Biomedical Engineering

Overview

Biomedical Engineering is a multidisciplinary program which aims to provide the students with both an understanding of biology and medical theory and with highly specialized technical training in such fields as electrical, physics, material and mechanical engineering.  It involves the application of engineering principles and design concepts to solve problems in biology and medicine to develop devices and create medical equipment, computer systems, and software used in hospitals and other health facilities that improve human health and quality of life.

Development of Bachelor of Biomedical Engineering provide vital skills and knowledge to enable change to the national health system, for example, developments in imaging, instrumentation, robotics, scaffolding, materials engineering, computer science and prosthetics.

Students will study areas related to mechanical, electrical, artificial intelligence (e.g. evolutionary computation, neural network, fuzzy logic, machine learning) and aspects of modern biomedical systems.

 

Goals

  • Produce graduates with the skills necessary for admission to graduate school.
  • Produce graduates with the skills necessary to obtain jobs in biomedical industry.
  • Produce graduate who have a proper sense of professional responsibilities, service to community, leadership, ethics, and means of effective communication.
  • Demonstrate depth and breath, and creatively in Bachelor of Biomedical Engineering, its underlying sciences, and related technologies.
  • Create an atmosphere of co-operation and partnership between staff and students, and offer the students, and offer the students an environment where they can develop their potential.
  • Produce professional engineers skilled in Biomedical Engineering with a well-balanced knowledge of electronic system engineering.
  • Utilize systematic approach to select/ create appropriate IT tools, with full understanding of their limitations, to model, simulate and solve complex Biomedical Engineering problems.
