BSC IN BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING

  • Provide a platform to equip new generations of Biomedical Engineer whose individual efforts will make substantial contributions to health care of society.
  • Prepare students to become the thought leaders of tomorrow through a relevant and applied educational experience
  • Improve the diagnostics, therapy, care, rehabilitation and life quality by researching and developing health care technologies
  • Train biomedical engineers to work effectively in a wide range of settings that will advance and improve health care throughout our country and the world
  • Engage in self-development related to professional practice
  • Develop advanced skills to plan, design and execute research and programs related to healthcare technology.

Biomedical Engineering combines engineering, medicine and biology to improve the quality of our lives by resolving challenges in the healthcare industry. Bioengineers are an interesting breed. Often, they are needed to bridge traditional engineering skills with medical applications, working hand-in-hand with health-care professionals including physicians, nurses, therapists, and technicians to solve a wide variety of problems.The curriculum challenges students to analyze problems from both engineering and a biological perspective. Bioengineers through the program of B.Sc. in Biomedical Engineering, whose individual efforts will make substantial contributions to society.Career opportunities for biomedical engineers are excellent. Biomedical engineers work with health care professionals (e.g., physicians, nurses, therapists, and technicians) and may be called upon in a wide range of capacities such as designing instruments, devices, and software. Biomedical engineers incorporate knowledge from many technical sources to develop new medical procedures and conduct research in an effort to solve clinical problems. Biomedical engineers can be doing something different every day and can angle their career to be working individually or part of a team.
