About the Department of

B.E - Biomedical Engineering

Biomedical Engineering is the application of Engineering concepts and techniques in the field of Medicine. It combines the problem solving capability of engineers with the medical expertise of physicians to enhance the quality of life through health care process. Biomedical engineers bridge the medical and engineering disciplines to provide an overall enhancement in the quality of health care and products.

The Department of Biomedical Engineering was established in the academic year 2019-20 with an intake of 60 students with the goal of improving the quality and effectiveness of patient care with well-established infrastructure facilities to develop manpower in the upcoming field of modern health care industry, and it currently offers B.E. Programme in Biomedical Engineering (4-Years). Faculty members are doing in-house research and publishing papers in peer reviewed international journals and conferences. The department has experienced and trained faculty to impart knowledge in this specialized field.

The department has signed MoU’s with industries and research organizations for faculty training, students training and placement. Visits to hospitals, Equipment manufacturing & maintenance, Industries and Research Centres form part of our core curriculum, so that the students get first-hand knowledge in these areas. Industrial training and Project training are arranged for all students to develop their practical and working knowledge.

Biomedical engineers who specialize in biomaterials develop materials that can be safely implanted in the body. Engineers who work in biomechanics apply principles from physics to biological systems. They develop artificial organs, such as the artificial heart. Engineers who focus on bioinstrumentation use computers or other electronic devices to diagnose or treat disease. A rehabilitation engineer helps improve the quality of life for people with disabilities. Tissue and cellular engineers grow cells outside of the body to be implanted in the body and serve some function. Genetic engineering is a related discipline in which an organism’s DNA is altered so that different proteins will be produced. Genetic engineering has many applications in drug production.

Each student is encouraged to develop innovative products on their own as part of Innovative Projects and the best are presented in intercollegiate competitions. Our students have won prizes in the national level innovation design contest. Keeping the employability of the graduates in mind, we offer value added labs using latest software and also offer special programmes on communication skills and soft skills so that they are technical experts as well as confident personalities in today's competitive job market.


Vision

    To be the pioneer biomedical engineering platform in the world in creating clinically adaptable solutions for human health by training the next generation of biomedical engineers, foster leaders, and progressive researchers that will substantially enhance the quality of life.

Mission

  •   To establish an innovative, multidisciplinary academic program that emphasis on biomedical engineering's fundamentals.

  •   To create enabling technologies that will help to enhance human health and medical care.

  •   To empower students to be delicate to the ethical issues associated with the profession of biomedical engineering.

Programme Educational Objectives (PEOs)

  •   To enable the graduates to demonstrate their skills in design and develop medical devices for health care system through the core foundation and knowledge acquired in engineering and biology.

  •   To enable the graduates to exhibit leadership in health care team to solve health care problems and make decisions with societal and ethical responsibilities.

  •   To ensure that graduates will recognize the need for sustaining and expanding their technical competence and engage in learning opportunities throughout their careers.

Program Outcomes (POs)

  •   Engineering knowledge: Apply the knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering fundamentals, and an engineering specialization to the solution of complex engineering problems.

  •  Problem analysis: Identify, formulate, review research literature, and analyze complex engineering problems reaching substantiated conclusions using first principles of mathematics, natural sciences, and engineering sciences.

  •  Design/development of solutions: Design solutions for complex engineering problems and design system components or processes that meet the specified needs with appropriate consideration for the public health and safety, and the cultural, societal, and environmental considerations.

  •   Conduct investigations of complex problems: Use research-based knowledge and research methods including design of experiments, analysis and interpretation of data, and synthesis of the information to provide valid conclusions.

  •   Modern tool usage: Create, select, and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering and IT tools including prediction and modeling to complex engineering activities with an understanding of prediction and modeling to complex engineering activities with an understanding of the limitations.

  •   The engineer and society: Apply reasoning informed by the contextual knowledge to assess societal, health, safety, legal and cultural issues and the consequent responsibilities relevant to the professional engineering practice.

  •   Environment and sustainability: Understand the impact of the professional engineering solutions in societal and environmental contexts, and demonstrate the knowledge of, and need for sustainable development.

  •   Ethics: Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and responsibilities and norms of the engineering practice.

  •   Individual and team work: Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse teams, and in multidisciplinary settings.

  •   Communication: Communicate effectively on complex engineering activities with the engineering community and with society at large, such as, being able to comprehend and write effective reports and design documentation, make effective presentations, and give and receive clear instructions.

  •  Project management and finance: Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the engineering and management principles and apply these to one’s own work, as a member and leader in a team, to manage projects and in multidisciplinary environments.

  •   Life-long learning: Recognize the need for, and have the preparation and ability to engage in independent and life-long learning in the broadest context of technological change.

Programme Specific Outcomes (PSOs)

  •   To design and develop diagnostic and therapeutic devices that reduces physician burn out and enhances the quality of life for the end user by applying fundamentals of Biomedical Engineering.

  •   To adapt to emerging information and communication technologies (ICT) to innovate ideas and solutions for current societal and scientific issues thereby developing indigenous medical instruments that are on par with the existing technology.
