B.Sc Biomedical Engineering

Introduction

Biomedical engineering applies the principles of engineering and design concepts to medicine and biology with the intention of improving the overall healthcare of society. Complex medical technologies is used in the prognosis, diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of the sick and injured. With 10-year job growth of 72%, the area is growing exponentially and the demand for biomedical engineers is increasing rapidly.

Biomedical engineers are employed in the industry, in hospitals, in research facilities of educational and medical institutions, in teaching, and in government regulatory agencies. They often serve a coordinating or interfacing function, using their background in both engineering and medical fields. In industry, they may create designs where an in-depth understanding of living systems and of technology is essential.

The program spans over four years (eight semesters) and comprises 138 credit hours. The semester-wise breakup of curriculum is given on subsequent pages.

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 in the relevant fields exceptionally well in foreign countries.

The future prospect of Biomedical engineering is very bright. The exponential increase in population will need more hospitals and enhancement of existing healthcare facilities. We will need biomedical engineers to work in hospitals to manage and maintain biomedical equipment. Many more Biomedical professionals would be in demand to design and develop smart instruments. Companies would be requiring engineers to introduce their instruments to the end-users in order to compete with other manufacturers. Universities would need to recruit experts to offer Biomedical engineering programs and meet the market demand by producing more Biomedical engineers.

Biomedical engineering is the field to choose not only to secure your future but to serve mankind by contributing in providing the best possible healthcare facilities.

Career Opportunities for Biomedical Engineers

  • A biomedical engineer carries out various functions within the biomedical engineering industry and other institutions such as hospitals, healthcare organizations and teaching institutions.
  • They design the sleek computer systems which help to monitor patients during the different stages of the hospital care. Moreover, they also build the systems to monitor the health aspects of the healthy persons.
  • They design and build the complex sensors to measure blood chemistry, such as sodium and pH.
  • They design the instruments and devices for the therapeutic uses for example the device for the eye surgery.
  • They make strategies for the clinical decision making based on the data obtained through artificial intelligence.
  • They design clinical laboratories and automate different units within the hospitals and other health care delivery systems using the advanced engineering technologies.
  • They design, build and investigate the medical imaging systems based on X-rays (Computer Assisted Tomography), Magnetic Fields (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), Ultrasound or newer modalities.
  • They develop and implement the mathematical models of physiological systems, for example they design and construct bio materials and find out the mechanical, transport and biocompatibility properties of implantable materials.
  • They investigate the Bio – Mechanics of injury and wound healing.

Scope and Job Prospects

  • Healthcare equipment manufacturing industry. 

  • Healthcare equipment repair and maintenance.

  • Installation, repair and maintenance in Hospitals.

  • Research and development in Biomedical Engineering.

  • Evaluate the safety, efficiency and effectiveness of biomedical equipment.

  • Train clinicians & other personal on the proper use of equipment.
