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.

Biomedical Engineering is to enhance the conventional systems and optimize the current learning opportunities for biomedical engineering.

What is Biomedical Engineerin g

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.

Scope of BME

Evolution of Biomedical Engineering

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.

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.

Relevan t 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.

Role of Technolog y 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 The elements of crucial knowledge for efficient practice include skills and techniques, and educational strategies for the communication of knowledge.

Challenge s in the Developm of ent BME

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.

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.

Conclusio n

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 master’s degree in Business to manage or run a healthcare organization or Doctoral degree in BME.
