Course Outcomes

1. Bridge the gap between engineering and medicine.
2. Develop low-cost, more accurate and effective devices for health procedures including diagnosis, evaluation, care and therapy.
3. Research and innovate in the field of medical engineering.

The area of innovation in healthcare technology covers medical science and engineering methods in the diagnostic techniques and in providing effective healthcare. This area applies engineering expertise, in particular electronics, with the goal of devising revolutionary methods for treating diseases and diseases using modern medical devices. Over recent years, developments in the field have resulted in the implementation of a variety of advanced medical equipment that has revolutionized the field of healthcare and played an important part in inventing treatments for different conditions.

A healthcare technology Engineer designs and manufactures repair and maintenance electronic devices, MRI, patient monitors and defibrillators etc. Medical engineers create techniques to automate insulin injections or to regulate certain functions of the body. In this sector, the gap between engineering and health is to be bridged. The discipline is a blend of engineering design and problem-solving skills with medical and biological sciences to improve medical treatments such as diagnostics, tracking, diagnosis and care.

Continued research in the fields of biomechanics, medical imaging, Bio-Signal Processing and Bio-sensors is encouraged by ever growing demand for advanced medical devices and systems. Career opportunities include employment in testing laboratory, medical equipment repair hospital and technical software development for technical electronics engineers.
