ABOUT MEDICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERING

Bachelor of Engineering (B.E.) Medical Electronics Engineering (ML) is a 4-year program which is being designed for students desiring to get a background in healthcare technologies, and, at the same time, have an inclination towards service in collaboration with doctors, clinicians and nurses. Graduates become involved in the design, repair and maintenance of electronic medical instruments used in healthcare. They can also choose to continue into research or academic fields by choosing appropriate professional and open electives. In addition to technical education, this professional degree assist students in developing skills in soft skills like communicating problems, ideas and solutions to peers and other technical experts; and management and entrepreneurship such that they get a broad educational base.

This program will develop troubleshooting skills in analog circuits, digital circuits & processors and programming skills used in signal and image processing. In addition, they must understand anatomy, physiology, medical terminology and the operation of medical and clinical instruments like EEG, ECG, oximeters, and calorimeters. Upon graduation, students are typically employed in industries in product development or as design/ maintenance/ test/ service engineers by hospitals as Biomedical Engineers by medical device manufacturers. Some graduates continue to specialize in one of numerous biomedical research areas and venture into academic field. Some others also venture into hospital administration by completing a MBA degree.
