The discipline of biomedical engineering has emerged as an integrating medium for two professions: Medicine and Engineering. Biomedical engineering applies engineering methods and technologies to health care.
The department's mission is to prepare students as engineers responsible for the management of high-technology devices and systems used in modern hospitals, for the training of medical personnel to use such medical devices and equipment, and for the design, selection, and maintenance of these devices for safe and effective health-care services.
