Introduction
Biomedical Engineering has seen a subsequent
growth in the health care industry over the past
40 years.
Research and innovations in this field have
surged in recent years amid the advancement in
learning sciences. There is a dire need for
designing new reforms and learning new systems
and technology in engineering education. Biomedi
cal Engineering is to enhance the conventional
systems and optimize the current learning
opportunities for biomedical engineering.
4
What is Biomedical Engineering
The Biomedical Engineer is an expert to
investigate and resolve problems on biology and
medicine by application of sophisticated
technology.
Biomedical Engineers teams up with health
care professionals to design devices,
instruments, and software. Biomedical
Engineering integrates the clinical practices and
biomedical sciences with the engineering
sciences by knowledge acquisition and
understanding living organisms through
analytical and experimental techniques. Contd..

Scope of BME
6
IEEE Transactions in Biomedical Engineering made
a special attempt under its special issue in
which various topics including the founding of
BME, engineering in healthcare
industry, etc were discussed.
Evolution of Biomedical Engineering
Whitaker Foundation organized an international
summit on BME education. It was observed that
substantial biomedical service has arisen
providing opportunities to BME graduates. The
foundation sponsored another summit for designing
the programs to help universities modify their
existing structure of Biomedical Engineering.
7
Relevant Sciences to BME
BME itself is a vast field of learning combining
the medical and engineering sciences.
A conditionalized knowledge is vital for the
expertise which is obtained by modern
problem-solving processes. Knowledge-centered
learning and qualitative thinking by organizing
key concepts are positive designs for learning
environments.
8
Role of Technology in BME
New technologies create feasibility to employ
insight from learning theories to improve both
the student as well as faculty learning.
The authentic and difficult cases applicable to
biology, medicine, mathematics relating to BME
can be searched and explored using
technology. Software like MATLAB and CAD can
help in mathematical modeling and visualizations
in BME. Technology has played an important role
in communication and community building of the
students and faculties from different continents.

Key Areas of Biomedical Engineering
BASIC Biomechanics Bioinstrumentation
Biosystems Cell/molecular Engineering
Biomaterials
ADVANCED Functional genomics
Biomems Cell/tissue engineering Computational
Biology Bioimaging
The elements of crucial knowledge for efficient
practice include skills and techniques, and
educational strategies for the communication of
knowledge.
10
Challenges in the
Development
BME offer students practical information in both
engineering and biology in 4 years which is
difficult to be attained as the two subjects are
very comprehensive.
of BME
The general separation of industry and immaturity
of academic work in certain aspects is another
barrier. Extensive academic research to address
the issues of the industry can help the students
and institutions to realize the potential of
Biomedical Engineering.
11
Conclusion
There will be an overwhelming growth in the BME
and it is very unlikely that BME will become
saturated.

• There are various domains for Biomedical students
  such as product design and development,
  research, data processing, sales and marketing,
  etc.
• Students can undergo a masters degree in
  Business to manage or run a healthcare
  organization or Doctoral
• degree in BME.
