Biomedical Engineering (BME) is the fastest growing interdisciplinary engineering program, combining engineering with medicine that provides innovation to enhance the quality of life. It utilizes problem solving skills to design and develop innovative diagnostic, therapeutic and surgical solutions for healthcare industry. The increasing utilization of technology in healthcare, the demand for biomedical engineers has grown worldwide. Department of Biomedical Engineering (DBME) offers a well-structured Master of Engineering (ME) degree program in Biomedical Engineering. DBME focuses on transforming the theoretical concepts into the real-world solutions to problems, keeping in mind the current challenges and research in healthcare industry. The department is well-equipped to produce young engineers, scientists and entrepreneurs inculcating self-directed learning traits.
To be recognized nationally as a quality academic, research- driven, innovative and entrepreneurial education provider advancing knowledge and nurturing talent for the benefit of society and healthcare community.
To provide an optimal learning environment to educate future biomedical engineers utilizing curricula and training opportunities that upskills interpersonal, entrepreneurial and multidisciplinary knowledge to contribute in academia, research centers, healthcare industry and society.
The objectives of the DBME is to deliver quality education by:
Degree: Master of Engineering (ME) in Biomedical Engineering
Total Credit Hours (course based): 30 Cr. Hr. coursework
Total Credit Hours (Research based): 24 Cr. Hr. coursework & 6 Cr. Hr. research work
Why ME Biomedical Engineering?
Biomedical Engineering is an Interdisciplinary integrated field of engineering that aims to improve human healthcare through innovative use of technology. The Master of Engineering (ME) is a post graduate degree program designed to provide advanced training in biomedical engineering which requires students to establish the necessary foundation in biology, physiology and mathematics, in addition to advanced biomedical engineering coursework. Additionally, students are required to carry out research work and/or complete an approved project. During the postgraduate studies, students are expected to develop strong understanding of both biological processes and engineering, allowing them to bring improvements in hospitals, clinical setups, medical research centers and healthcare industry.
To produce research-driven, innovative and entrepreneurial expert personnel in the field of Biomedical Engineering by imparting quality interdisciplinary education through high quality academician and researchers for the benefit of society and healthcare community.
To provide students with a dynamic learning, academic environment that encourages excellence in both teaching and research. As a result, assisting in becoming skilled, innovative, and socially responsible professional in the fields of academia, research, the healthcare sector, and the society.
