Biomedical Engineering Department

The field of Biomedical Engineering serves as a crucial link between engineering and medical sciences by applying engineering principles and techniques in the medical domain. There has been an increasing need for engineering intervention in various medical decisions, whether through designing advanced medical devices that meet specific health and patient requirements or by actively participating in clinical settings alongside medical teams to make appropriate therapeutic decisions and procedures.

This growing demand has led to the emergence of biomedical engineers who possess fundamental medical knowledge from an engineering perspective, enabling them to develop well-structured engineering solutions for complex medical problems. This specialization requires the ability to seamlessly integrate engineering sciences with medical expertise to achieve precise and effective outcomes, making biomedical engineers an essential part of healthcare teams. They contribute to delivering accurate treatments and innovating new medical technologies that cater to patient needs.

One of the most prominent applications of biomedical engineering is in prosthetics and orthopedic support. Biomedical engineers play a crucial role in designing and developing advanced prosthetic limbs that restore mobility and help patients perform daily activities efficiently. They also contribute significantly to the development of medical support devices that assist in patient rehabilitation, particularly for individuals with mobility impairments or various physical injuries.
