Bio-Medical engineering
Biomedical engineering in lay-man’s terms is a mixture of Electronic, electrical, computers, mechanical engineering and bio-technology!! Or It establishes a relationship between engineering, medicine, biology, and physics. The main objective of the subject is to bring about an improvement in the overall quality of healthcare. Biomedical engineers design automated patient monitoring systems, prosthetics, synthetic blood vessels, blood chemistry sensors, artificial intelligence for clinical decisions and ultrasound machines. All the infrastructure and machinery helps the bio-medical engineer to head in for a lot of intensive research on humanitarian grounds.
This unique field educates a person on bio-instrumentation, bio-materials, bio-mechanics, medical imaging, genetic engineering, orthopaedic surgery cellular and tissue engineering. Biomedical engineers are responsible for designing artificial organs like kidneys, pacemakers, sophisticated therapeutic and surgical devices like magnetic resonance imaging machine, laser system for eyes and more.
Bio-medical engineers are in high demand abroad. Clinical engineers who monitor and maintain the databases of medical instrumentation and work with physicians to adapt instrumentation for the specific needs of the physician and hospitals are most sought after in hospitals abroad.
