P.S.V College of Engineering and Technology
B.E – BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING
The Department of Biomedical Engineering is established in 2021-2022 to cater to the growing demands for biomedical devices and procedures. The program is duly approved by AICTE and affiliated to Anna University with an intake of 30. The demand for engineers with background in biology and medicine is growing rapidly. BME is an emerging and exciting discipline of engineering that has got tremendous potential for research, development and employment. Biomedical engineering may be defined as the study and application of engineering principles and techniques to the medical field. It is a combination of technical knowledge in biology and medicine to improve life quality. It is an apt career for those who have a keen interest in medicine and healthcare.
BME is concerned with the development and manufacture of prostheses, medical devices, diagnostic devices, drugs and other therapies. This unique field encompasses bio-instrumentation, bio-materials, bio-mechanics, medical imaging, genetic engineering, orthopedic surgery, cellular and tissue engineering. The combination of Mechanical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, and Sciences with Computers for communication and control led to the emergence of interdisciplinary courses such as Mechatronics, Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM), Geographical Information System (GIS), Bio Technology, Bio Mechanics, Bio Medical Instrumentation and Bio Medical Engineering.
