DEPARTMENT OF BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING
Biomedical Engineering is the application of engineering concepts and techniques to the field of medicine. It combines the problem-solving capabilities of engineers with the medical expertise of physicians to enhance the quality of life through healthcare processes. Biomedical engineers bridge the medical and engineering disciplines to provide an overall enhancement in the quality of healthcare and products.
SIMATS Engineering established the Department of Biomedical Engineering in 2016. The department offers undergraduate programs in Biomedical Engineering. Faculty members are actively engaged in in-house research and publish papers in peer-reviewed international journals and conferences. Their areas of expertise include biosignal and medical image processing, rehabilitation engineering, and biomedical instrumentation.
The department has signed MoUs with industries and research organizations to facilitate faculty and student training and placement. Visits to hospitals, equipment manufacturing and maintenance facilities, industries, and research centers are integral to the curriculum, providing students with first-hand knowledge in these areas. Industrial training and project training are arranged for all students to develop their practical and working knowledge.
Students are encouraged to develop innovative products as part of their coursework, with the best projects being presented in intercollegiate competitions. Our students have won prizes in national-level innovation design contests. To enhance employability, the department offers value-added labs with the latest software and special programs on communication and soft skills, ensuring graduates are not only technical experts but also confident professionals in today's competitive job market.
The department has organized numerous national seminars, workshops, and faculty development programs on various topics of biomedical engineering in association with the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), the Indian Council for Medical Research (ICMR), and the Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB), India.
Alumni of the Department of Biomedical Engineering are employed in reputed healthcare industries in India and abroad, including companies such as Allengers, CURA Healthcare, Stryker, L&T ECC, HRS Navigation, Phoenix Medical Systems, TCS Medical Division, Skanray Technologies, Hulhumale Hospital, Medtronic, MIOT Hospitals, BPL Healthcare, Agappe Diagnostics, Faber-Sindori-Apollo Groups, TransAsia, Zifo RnD Solutions, and HCL R&D. Many alumni are pursuing higher education at renowned universities worldwide, such as the University of California, University of South Florida-USA, Hochschule Furtwangen University, Tomsk Polytechnic University, UMEA University-Sweden, and Arizona State University, USA.
