Biomedical Engineering is your calling if you have a passion for developing new medical technology or medicines that can help the aging population of the world. By joining this field in the Riphah Department of Biomedical Engineering, become a part of the ever-growing field of engineers who are shaping the future of medical cures and technology with their efforts.
Choosing a career path is hard but making a choice following your passion and dream is even harder, especially when you want to pursue a career that is unpopular in your country. Many professions are becoming the need of the hour but due to the unpopularity and lack of knowledge, it is getting hard for students and their parents to make a choice. Biomedical Engineering is one of these hard-to-choose careers in Pakistan that lack acknowledgment on a national level.
Why Biomedical Engineering and not any other career?
is a million-dollar question and the answer to it is less complicated.
The world is dealing with an aging population with unknown disease outbursts and viral infections that did not exist on the face of earth earlier. COVID-19 is a recent and popular example of it. To deal with these diseases, medical specialists and hospitals need new medicines and modern medical technology that can tackle the new disease mutations and their treatments.
To solve these medical problems through providing new equipment and medical solutions, here the role of Biomedical Engineering comes In
Why Biomedical Engineering is important?
Biomedical Engineering is broadly defined as the application of Engineering and Technology
in the field of medicine and surgery. Joseph D. Bronzino has given a comprehensive definition of biomedical engineering, which says,
“Biomedical engineering applies electrical, mechanical, chemical, optical, and another engineering principles to understand, modify, or control biological (i.e., human and animal) systems, as well as design and manufacture products that can monitor physiologic functions and assist in the diagnosis and treatment of patients”.
Biomedical engineering has brought together the knowledge of diverse fields with a focus on applications in medical sciences. It abetted the healthcare professionals from looking inside the patient’s body to rehabilitate the paralyzed ones. With some success, it is now endeavoring to “play” with the genes to absolutely eradicate the possibility of the occurrence of a disease from its roots. With the advancements of technology, now we are also looking at robotic surgeries and implants in human bodies.
How can you take a step toward your dream of becoming a “Biomedical Engineer”?
Even though it takes a lot of convincing for you to satisfy your parents about Biomedical Engineering as the right career choice. But, once you make this choice, you need to take small steps in the right direction instead of trusting your gut feeling.
The First right choice is that “choose your college or university very carefully”. It means that you have to make a list of institutions and decide which one you choose. Here, you need to look at the department, Faculty members, campus, department’s achievement, alumni success stories, and the success that they did on a national level.
Many institutions in Pakistan are offering Degree programs in Biomedical Engineering but the one that can stand out to you and to everyone is “The Riphah Department of Biomedical Engineering”.
Why Riphah Department of Biomedical Engineering Should be Your Choice?
Riphah International University has a history of 26 years of providing quality education in different degree programs.
Riphah International University is among the pioneer for introducing the exciting program of B.Sc. in Biomedical Engineering in 1998. Since then, the department of Biomedical Engineering has produced top-quality graduates who are not only working in the country’s leading organizations but also earned a name for the country by contributing to the relevant fields, exceptionally well in foreign countries. The university is offering B.Sc., M.S, and Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering and they have specialized subjects in different academic semesters. To practice the skills and achieve the practical implications of theoretical knowledge, the Riphah Department of Biomedical Engineering has opened 9 different laboratories including the Biomedical & Simulation lab, Bio Instrumentation/ Biophysics lab, control system labs, signal processing, and Interfacing labs, etc.
Along with the biomedical labs and Foreign qualified faculty, our BSc Biomedical Engineering program has been accredited by Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC) under Objective Based Education (Washington Accord). The Washington Accord is an international agreement between bodies responsible for accrediting engineering degree programs. By virtue of this accreditation, our graduates can apply for jobs and higher studies in the signatory countries like Europe with Washington Accord without giving an entry exam.
What makes the Riphah Department of Biomedical Engineering Stand Out?
Before choosing a suitable educational institution for your admission, you should know what you are looking for. If you want to join a department that offers variety of both educational and professional opportunities, Riphah International University should be on your hit list.
