Biomedical engineering was established in 2016. One Degree Offered: B. Sc. Engg. The main objective of the Biomedical Engineering Department is to make application of the principles and problem-solving techniques of engineering to biology and medicine. As a result, the department focuses on the advances that improve human health and health care at all levels.
Biomedical engineers differ from other engineering disciplines that have an influence on human health in that biomedical engineers use and apply an intimate knowledge of modern biological principles in their engineering design process. Aspects of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, chemical engineering, materials science, chemistry, mathematics, and computer science and engineering are all integrated with human biology in biomedical engineering to improve human health, whether it is an advanced prosthetic limb or a breakthrough in identifying proteins within cells.
There are many sub-disciplines within biomedical engineering, including the design and development of active and passive medical devices, orthopedic implants, medical imaging, biomedical signal processing, tissue and stem cell engineering, and clinical engineering, just to name a few.
