DEPARTMENT OF BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING

About the Department

The Department of Biomedical Engineering is launched in the year 2023 with an Undergraduate Programme B.E. in Biomedical Engineering.

The field of Biomedical Engineering focuses on applying engineering concepts and methods to medicinal and biological issues. The prevalence of implantable medical devices, such as pacemakers and artificial limbs, as well as more cutting-edge technologies, like stem cell engineering and the 3-D printing of biological organs, has made this visible throughout the healthcare industry, from diagnosis and analysis to treatment and recovery. The field of biomedical engineering concentrates on developments that enhance human health and medical treatment on all facets.

Modern study labs for biomaterials, biomechanics, biosignals, and medical image processing are well-equipped in the department.

The Department of Biomedical Engineering’s main objective is to turn out young engineers and entrepreneurs who are extremely informed, capable, and resourceful and who can excel in a broad variety of job profiles. The programme offers a solid foundation in both the technological and analytical elements of biomedical engineering to help with this. Additionally, it gives students numerous opportunities to work on mini projects, improve their communication skills, look into internship possibilities in top companies and organizations, and participate in national, and international design competitions.

Curriculum Details

Innovative Teaching

The department initiates innovative teaching strategies in the classroom can make learning easier and more effective. Experimenting with diverse strategies in the classroom is an iterative process that will assist teachers in promoting learning to encourage student growth through student centric learning activities such as google class room, audio/video lecturers, peer to peer learning, role play, demonstration of  model, Inquiry based learning, collaborative learning etc.,

Google Classroom

Google Classroom is a set of online tools that allows teachers to create lessons, collect student work, grade, and return graded papers. Google Classroom is a learning management system (LMS) that aims to simplify creating, distributing, and grading assignments and engaging students in learning online or remotely. Edtech tools have become increasingly popular and during the recent pandemic, school systems realised that educational tools needed to be accessed at home as well as in the classroom.

Smart Class Room 

Leverage the advanced technology which provides tools and other contents for the students’ learning using latest media presentations.

Peer to Peer Learning

Peer learning is an education method that helps students solidify their knowledge by teaching each other. One student tutoring another in a supervised environment can result in better learning and retention. Why? Because to teach another, one must first fully understand a concept themselves. Verbalizing a concept and sharing the information with a peer serves to reinforce the knowledge gained. Peer learning is best supported by other learning strategies, including the Constructivism Learning Theory and the Connectivism Learning Theory.

Role play

Role-play is a technique that allows students to explore realistic situations by interacting with other people in a managed way in order to develop experience and trial different strategies in a supported environment.

Think Pair Share 

Students are divided into two groups. One group thinks and raise questions and another group will find the answers.

Demonstration of models

The real time working models are demonstrated in the class to connect the tangible model with the theoretical concept. This helps the students to easily understand the working principles of electrical engineering components.

Inquiry-based Learning

Encouraging students to ask questions and investigate their own ideas that helps in improving their problem-solving skills.

Collaborative learning

Collaboration allows students to actively participate in the learning process by talking with each other and listening to others opinions. Collaboration establishes a personal connection between students and the topic of study and it helps students think in a less personally biased way. Group projects and discussions are the topics. Teachers may employ collaboration to assess student’s abilities to work as a team, leadership skills, or presentation abilities.

BIOMEDICAL LABORATORY

Linear Integrated Circuits Laboratory

The objective of linear integrated circuits lab is to learn practical applications of operational amplifier, to design and develop circuits using operational amplifiers and to learn how to detect, amplify, store, create and manipulate signals using operational amplifiers.
