Deparmental Information

Biomedical engineering is the field which seeks to close the gap between engineering and medicine. It combines the design and problem solving skills of engineering with medical and biological sciences to improve healthcare diagnosis, monitoring and therapy.

PROGRAM OUTCOMES FOR STUDENTS:

1. Apply fundamental knowledge of mathematics, including differential equations and statistics, biology, physiology, physical sciences, and engineering to solve the problems at the interface of engineering and biology.
2. Design and conduct biomedical relevant experiments, to quantitatively analyze and interpret data from living and non-living systems, and to solve problems associated with interaction between living and non-living materials and systems.
3. Design a system, component, or process to tackle biomedical engineering problems within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health, safety, regulation, manufacturability and sustainability.
4. Function on multi-disciplinary teams.
5. Apply the phases of design (need identification, problem definition, synthesis analysis, optimization, evaluation, and presentation) in order to propose a feasible solution to a variety of biomedical problems.
6. Understanding of professional and ethical responsibility required of all engineering, and the unique ethical responsibilities of engineers working in health-related fields.
7. Communicate effectively both orally and in writing on technical issues related to biomedical engineering.
8. Possess a broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context.
9. Recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in lifelong learning.
10.Demonstrate knowledge of contemporary issues related to biomedical engineering.
11.Use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for solving biomedical engineering problems.
