BE Biomedical Engineering

After the COVID 19 pandemic, the need of ventilators , masks, face shields , assistive respiratory devices and SPO2 Monitor has suddenly increased which marks the importance of biomedical engineering field which merges the electronics, mechanical & computer  principle with health care industry. As a graduate of this programme of top ranking university, you will have the confidence and ability to communicate with different players in the life science fields, from clinicians and nurses to designers, scientists and other engineers.

Scope & Opportunities

Biomedical Engineering is one of the emerging fields which combines Engineering expertise with the needs in the medical industry for the growth and development of the healthcare sector. It is the unique branch of Engineering in which the concepts, knowledge, expertise and skills are designated and applied to the field of biology and medicine in order to meet the daily challenges. Pakistan has a growing biomedical industry with the increased development of surgical tools, update of instrumentation in the hospitals and spending of large budgets on the research & development.

A biomedical Graduate is able to:

  • Design biomedical equipment and devices, such as artificial internal organs, replacements for body parts, and machines for diagnosing medical problems
  • Install, adjust, maintain, repair, or provide technical support for biomedical equipment
  • Evaluate the safety, efficiency, and effectiveness of biomedical equipment
  • Train clinicians and other personnel on the proper use of biomedical equipment
  • Research the engineering aspects of the biological systems of humans and animals with life scientists, chemists, and medical scientists
  • Prepare procedures, write technical reports, publish research papers, and make recommendations based on their research findings
  • Present research findings to scientists, nonscientist executives, clinicians, hospital management, engineers, other colleagues, and the public
Programme Educational Objectives

The objective of the programme is to prepare professionals in the planning, design, and construction of commercial, industrial, and institutional buildings and other facilities. The curriculum of Architecture has been developed to impart the following objectives in the graduates.

  • PEO 1: Able to solve complex biomedical engineering problems using fundamental principles of technical, basic and health sciences.
  • PEO 2: Able to compete in the field of research and development by incorporating life-long learning using modern tools and techniques and responsive to the demands of society in ethical, professional and safe manner.
