B.Tech. (Biomedical Engineering)

COURSE DESCRIPTION

---

B.Tech. Biomedical Engineering or Bachelor of Technology Biomedical Engineering is an undergraduate Biomedical Engineering course. It deals with the field of science or technology and covers one of the main subjects Biomedical Engineering. Biomedical Engineering is the application of engineering principles and design concepts to medicine and biology. It combines the design and problem-solving skills of engineering with medical and biological sciences to improve healthcare diagnosis, monitoring and therapy. The Bachelor of Technology degree program shall extend over a period of 8 consecutive semesters spread over 4 academic years – two semesters constituting one academic year. The duration of each semester shall normally be 15 weeks excluding examinations. The course is an important and job orienting one which opens a lot of career scopes for it.
