BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING
Biomedical engineering is an evolving field that utilizes state of the art engineering technology to transform the healthcare sector. It plays a role, in pushing forward treatment systems making significant contributions to the medical field and related industries. Biomedical engineers are at the forefront of creating, innovating, thoroughly testing and effectively maintaining equipment thus raising the standards of healthcare delivery, to unprecedented levels.
Although not widely recognized in Kerala this academic program offers potential, for job opportunities overseas. There are domains within the field including biomedical imaging, biomechanics, tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, bioinformatics, clinical engineering, neural engineering, medical software development, informatics, quality control and regulatory affairs.
In Kerala itself certain colleges provide engineering programs such as Biomedical Engineering and Electronics and Biomedical Engineering. These programs offer aspiring students the chance to pursue fields of study. Admission to these courses is facilitated through the Kerala Engineering Entrance Examination.
Furthermore, renowned institutions like IIT Hyderabad, NIT Rourkela, North East Hill University Shillong Amity University Haryana,Lovely Professional University Punjab, UPES Dehradun, Manipal Institute of Technology and PSG College of Technology Coimbatore offer Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech) or Bachelor of Engineering (BE) programs in Biomedical Engineering. These institutions provide an array of options for students who're interested, in exploring the innovative and promising world of Biomedical Engineering.
Science University Thanjavur offers a B.Tech program in Bioengineering, while IIT Varanasi provides a unique Bachelor and Master of Technology dual-degree program spanning five years in Bioengineering with a specialization in Biomedical Technology. Additionally, Delhi University offers a BSc program in Biomedical Sciences. In Kerala, certain polytechnic colleges offer three-year diploma programs in biomedical engineering, providing a range of educational opportunities in this field.
