Department of

Biomedical Engineering

The Department of Biomedical engineering combines medical and biological sciences with engineering principles to design and create equipment, devices, and software used in healthcare. It brings together knowledge from various sources of medicine and engineering to conduct research needed to solve clinical problems. Biomedical engineers with an in-depth understanding of living systems and technology, design electrical circuits, software to run medical equipment, or computer simulations to test new drug therapies. Besides, they propose and construct artificial body parts, such as hip and knee joints. They develop the resources needed to make the replacement body parts. The course curriculum consists of clinical engineering, genetic engineering, medical imaging, anatomy and physiology, biomechanics & bio-materials, etc. A variety of opportunities are there for Biomedical engineers which they may absorb in hospitals, where therapy occurs, or in laboratories for research. Still, others work in manufacturing units, where they design biomedical engineering products.
