Introduction

Many of the problems confronting health professionals today are of extreme importance to the engineer because they involve the fundamental aspects of device and systems analysis, design and practical applications-all of which lie at the heart of processes that are fundamental to engineering practice. This medically relevant design problems can range from very complex large scale constructs, such as design and implementation of automated clinical laboratories, multiphase screening facilities, and hospital information systems, to the creation of simple and small devices, such as recording electrodes, and transducers that may be used to monitor the activity of specific physiological process in either a research or a clinical setting.

Biomedical Engineering is an interdisciplinary branch of engineering heavily based both in engineering and in the life sciences. It ranges from theoretical, non experimental undertaking to state-of-the art applications. It cans encompass research, development, implementation and operation

Outcomes

 

  • Analytical and technical skills: Graduates will possess the ability to formulate, analyze and solve problems, both analytically and experimentally, in engineering,, biomedical engineering and the life sciences.

  • Life sciences: Graduate will possess the ability to understand the interconnection between engineering, biomedical engineering , and the life sciences including biology and physiology.

  • Creativity: Graduates will be able to evaluate traditional methodologies in the biomedical sciences and the intersection between engineering and medicine in order to devise new approaches to technical and clinical problems.

  • Interdisciplinary approach and career development.

Graduates will be able to work effectively in teams to accomplish biomedical engineering and science tasks and understand the importance of each team member’s ability to contribute in his or her area of expertise .Of particular importance is the interconnection of engineering and clinical personnel towards the solution of problems of compelling clinical and biomedical interest and need.

Typical pursuits of biomedical engineers are:

  • Research in new materials for implanted artificial organs.

  • Development of new diagnostic instruments for blood analysis.

  • Computer modeling of the function of the human heart.

  • Writing software for the analysis of medical research data.

  • Development of new diagnostic imaging systems.

  • Design of biomedical sensors for measurement of human physiologic system variables.

  • Study of Biomechanics of the human body.

  • Development of new dental materials, and others.
