| About The Course |
The objective of this programme is that of producing
professional engineers who have strong practical
competences backed by solid underpinning knowledge
related to the biomedical engineering sector. The
exciting advances made in artificial valves and organs
and other prosthetic implants all fall in the realm of
biomedical Engineering.
The course strives to give a basic understanding of
the functioning of the human body and combines this
with the sound knowledge in biomechanics and other
engineering fields.
Graduates are referred to as clinical engineers,
biomedical or medical equipment specialists who
can service and repair medical equipment, prosthetic
implants and others. Employment opportunities for
biomedical engineers exist in industry, government,
universities, medical schools and hospitals. Biomedical
engineers work with other health care professionals as
members of a team. |
