Rajiv Gandhi College of Engineering - A Christian Minority Institution

Bio-Medical Engineering (BME)

The Department of Biomedical Engineering of the college has highly qualified faculty from the disciplines of Engineering,
Medical Sciences, Micro Biology, Bio-chemistry and Medical Physics. Two of our faculty are Medical Doctors and
other two two have PhD in Engineering and Medical Physics respectively. The rest of the faculties have Masters degree
in Engineering. The department has the support of specialty hospitals in and around Chennai to provide in-house
training to our students and staff. The department has excellent laboratory facilities. In addition to the conventional
Engineering laboratories, the department has laboratories for bio-medical Instrumentation, physiology, microbiology, biochemistry and pathology. The department is headed by Dr. E. Vasu Dean who had been a professor of Regional
Engineering college, Calicut and with International teaching and research experience in Universities of Australia and
Singapore.

ABOUT THE PROGRAMME

Biomedical engineering is an eight semester program , integrating the life sciences with electronics and computer
engineering. Core subjects are grouped as Life Science stream

Electronics and computer engineering. Core subjects are grouped as life science stream, electronic circuit stream , signal conditioning stream, computing stream, instrumentation stream and management stream . Apart from the core subjects,
English , physics, chemistry, mathematics and engineering mechanics are also taught. A two week hospital training is also essential part of the course

SCOPE OF THE PROGRAMME

The four year multi-disciplinary programme is designed to mould engineers who can serve in health care industry,
medical software. The courses prepares the students to work at the cutting edge of technology and advanced
biological sciences. Health care professionals increasingly depend upon technology to confront problems and have to
turn to the bio medical engineers for assistance. Bio Medical engineers may become imaging modality or development
of new medical prosthetic devices to aid the people with disabilities.

The importance of Bio-Medical Engineers in fast growing health-care industry is now well acknowledged and
consequently new career options are available to them in health care industries both nationally and internationally. Many
of our first batch students who graduated in 2006 are employed in Hospitals, Bio-medical equipment manufacturing
companies, Medical equipment sales and service companies, IT companies and Government departments. In addition
some of our graduates are now pursuing their masters degree in places like Australia, Singapore, Germany and USA.
