Bio-Medical Engineering

Mehran university of Engineering and Technology has got the privilege to establish the Biomedical Engineering Department for the first time in the history of all Public sector universities of Pakistan. Technological innovation in the field of medicine and healthcare is accelerating at enormous pace. A modern hospital is now the center of a technologically sophisticated healthcare system.Keeping in view the tremendous growth of Biomedical Sector and Tele-Medicine in the country, there is great scope and need of Biomedical Engineers, Experts and Solution Providers. Biomedical engineering uses engineering principles to enable us to understand, modify or control biological systems. In practice, it involves everything from equipment for diagnosis and patient monitoring through implants such as pacemakers, artificial joints and limbs to the computer simulation of biological functions. All these modern aids to healthcare have to be conceived, designed, tested, manufactured, installed, operated, maintained and improved. This is the job of Biomedical Engineers. The world market for all biomedical devices, including diagnostic and therapeutic equipment, is in the range of $100 billion/year. It is destined to grow even further, especially in areas that have aging populations. Biomedical engineers will be of increasing importance to this growth. It is an inter-disciplinary and applied branch of electronic engineering, material as well as mechanical engineering, which requires a working knowledge such as physiology, human anatomy and biological sciences. This department offers Master of Engineering degree in Biomedical Engineering.
