Biomedical engineering benefits from science in scientific fields such as medicine, electrical-electronics engineering, computer engineering, chemical engineering, mechanics, material science and technology, chemistry, biology and molecular biology. With expertise spanning physiology, biology, health and health informatics, mechanics, and engineering, biomedical engineers combine their diverse skills to create solutions to ongoing health challenges around the world, helping to improve the way patients are treated and reduce the cost of care.
With the increasing world population, the demand for biomedical devices and procedures to improve quality of life continues to increase. Today, people are more aware than ever of breakthroughs and advances in medical technology. Because of this awareness, more and more people will continue to seek biomedical solutions to complex health problems, expecting a newer, more suitable and more advanced treatment method each time.
Since our students will receive education in medicine and many engineering fields, they will graduate with the knowledge and skills to demonstrate their competence both in the private sector and in the academy. The qualifications of our graduating students are as follows:
1. They should have sufficient knowledge in the development of medical imaging systems and software,
2. They have knowledge of human anatomy and physiology and the ability to model living organisms,
3. Have data analyst skills and interpret biomedical data using tools such as statistical analysis methods, data mining techniques and computer modeling tools,
4. They have the ability to determine biomedical device design requirements, develop prototypes, test them and evaluate them in terms of safety and effectiveness,
5. Evaluate biomaterial performance, analyze biomaterial-biological system interactions and master biocompatibility criteria,
6. They understand issues such as human experiments, medical data confidentiality, hospital products and patent rights and know the principles in their work,
7. Students develop project management and communication skills. They learn to take part in the planning, follow-up and result reporting of biomedical projects,
8. Students should be researchers who apply their knowledge of electronic, chemical, optical, mechanical, computational and other engineering principles to understand, modify or control biological (i.e. human and animal) systems,
9. Ability to develop, select and use modern techniques and tools necessary for the analysis and solution of complex problems encountered in biomedical engineering applications; They have the ability to use information technologies effectively.
Our students who will graduate from the Biomedical Engineering program:
