BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT-AT A GLANCE

Biomedical engineering is an interdisciplinary field of engineering, medicine and biology. It focuses on the design and maintenance of biomedical instruments used in health sector by combining electronic engineering principles and knowledge of medicine and biology. It utilizes the design and problem solving skills of engineering with medical sciences to progress health care treatment such as diagnostics, monitoring, and rehabilitation. The biomedical engineering has recently emerged as a specialized field of study to produce biomedical engineers for the management of medical equipments in hospitals/health sectors according to industrial standards. This includes procurement, preventive maintenance, routine testing, and future recommendations for biomedical equipments. There is demand of biomedical engineers in but not limited to the following sectors: hospitals, pharmaceutical engineering, rehabilitation engineering, clinical engineering, biomedical, medical imaging, biosensor, implants, and medical device regulations.

To cope up with growing demand of biomedical engineers in health sector and medical industry, the QUEST, Nawabshah has developed a B.E. Biomedical Engineering program-outcome based education (OBE). The program is designed to provide necessary knowledge, analytical and leadership abilities, critical thinking, and ethical values to the graduates to adapt technological developments and resolve challenges in health care system. This includes teaching of courses adequately supported with the hands-on practical training in laboratories by using state-of-the art equipment and modern tools. The department has following 3 dedicated modern Laboratories for psychomotor training:


1. Biomedical Electronics Lab

2. Computing Lab

3. Applied Physics Lab


Industrial/Academic Linkages

Biomedical Engineering department recently initiated a process of industrial plus academic collaboration with healthcare sectors for the on-the-field training, enabling students to achieve global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
