Biomedical Engineering
Introduction
The Department of Biomedical Engineering was established in 1998. The primary goal is to prepare the graduates to join the modern health care industry with knowledge of biology and medicine science both in theoretical and practical aspects.
Teaching and Research
All programs of study include depth
in an engineering specialty as well as biomedical applications. Research
in the department focuses on four general areas described below. Medical
Electronics: Medical Diagnostic Instrument, Therapeutic Instrument,
Electronic Device for Health-care, Biomedical Sensors and transducers.
(a) Biomedical computing: Biomedical Imaging,
Physiological Signal Processing, Medical Database, Medical Network,
Virtual Reality,Tele-Medicine.
(b) Biomechanics: The Study of Spinal Disease, Rehabilitate Device,
Artificial Tissue for Implant, Sports Injure.
(c) Biomaterials: Metal and Ceramic Materials, Cell Engineering,
Biomolecule Materials.
Curriculum and Development
Students may choose unique
specialties in one of the four major directions as mentioned above. The
major courses are categorized as follows:
Electric Circuits, Electronic Circuit Laboratory, Microelectronics,
Microelectronics Laboratory, Introduction to Computer Science, Computer
Programming, Biomedical Computing, Biomaterials, Biomechanics,
Physiology, Physiology Laboratory, Biomedical systems, Biomedical
Instrumentation, Biomedical Engineering Laboratory.
Career Development
Graduates from the Department will be
enabled to solve problems in biology and medicine by using engineering
principle and technology.
They can choose to continue further study or to devote themselves in the
industries for the research and development in biomedical instrument and
devices, or to be a biomedical engineer in the hospital or in medical
device dealers.
