B.Tech-Biomedical Engineering

VISION

To be globally recognized as a Center of Excellence in the field of Biomedical Engineering through quality research and education, contributing to the advancement of human health.

MISSION

To produce skilled Biomedical Engineers who are technically competent and
socially committed by imparting interdisciplinary research and education in
the field of Biomedical Engineering.

To instill entrepreneurship skills and cultivate technically competent administrators
in the field of healthcare.

Addressing technological challenges with socio-ethical implications to meet the
needs of society.

Overview

The Department of Biomedical Engineering was established in the academic year 2015-16 with an aim to develop manpower in the upcoming field of modern health care industry, and it currently offers B.Tech. Programme in Biomedical Engineering (4-Years). Biomedical Engineering relates to the application of electrical, civil, mechanical, chemical, electronics, instrumentation and other engineering principles to understand, modify or control biological systems, as well as design and manufacture products that can assist in the diagnosis and treatment of the patients. The syllabus is carefully designed to meet the requirements of healthcare industries. The department has experienced and trained faculty to impart knowledge in this specialized field.

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.

Program Collaborator

Department of Mechanical Engineering has collaborated with leading industries and research labs in India and abroad. The major collaborating industries are TAFE, SAP, Siemens, and FORD etc. In addition, the department also having collaboration with scientist and professors from various research labs in India such as DRDO Bangalore, NIIST Trivandrum, IISC Bangalore, IGCAR Kalpakkam, CSIR-CECRI, Karaikudi, IIT Delhi, NIT Suratkal, PSG Tech Coimbatore, etc, Moreover, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering have collaboration in the research aspect with foreign professors and research labs in various countries such as Brazil, Thailand, Turkey, Malaysia, South Korea, USA etc.
