Biomedical engineering Technology may be defined as the study and application of engineering principles and techniques to the medical field.
It combines technical knowledge in biology and medicine to improve life quality. It is an apt career for those who have a keen interest in medicine and healthcare.
Here’s a Little More About Biomedical Engineering Technology
Biomedical engineering involves developing and manufacturing prostheses, medical devices, diagnostic devices, drugs, and other therapies.
This unique field encompasses bio-instrumentation, bio-materials, bio-mechanics, medical imaging, genetic engineering, orthopedic surgery, and cellular and tissue engineering.
If you are interested in technology and invention but also want to pursue Medicine, then Biomedical Engineering is the right course.
A degree in Biomedical Engineering equips you with the technical, scientific, and communication skills to understand medical instruments.
It also draws on fundamental concepts in Physics and other scientific disciplines to operate, repair, maintain, and interpret the resulting signals and images of complex medical instrumentation.
