Key Facts about the course Course Structure Student Achievements History of Biomedical Engineering at Ulster Outreach Activities for Prospective Students and Schools Contact Details What is Biomedical Engineering? Firstly, we need to define what Engineering is before considering what Biomedical Engineering is. Engineering is the application of science and mathematics by which the properties of matter and the sources of energy in nature are made useful to people. Another definition for Engineering is the design and manufacture of complex products. 1
2 Therefore, Biomedical Engineering should be considered as Engineering that is applied to human health. However, human health is multifaceted not only involving our physical bodies but also the things we put in our bodies (Pharmaceuticals) and the things we put on our bodies (Clothing). Therefore, Biomedical Engineering spans a variety of problems and interests. Biomedical Engineers (sometimes referred to as Bioengineers) are responsible for driving innovations and advances in medicine. Another way to describe Biomedical Engineering is as follows: 1. A Doctor diagnoses and treats patients. 2. A Biomedical Scientist analyses samples from a patient in a hospital laboratory so that the doctor knows how to diagnose and treat the patient. 3. A Biomedical Engineer designs and develops all of the equipment used by the doctors and the biomedical scientists. This could range from a simple thermometer right up to hip replacements or complex diagnostic instruments such as MRI or CT scanners. NIH working definition of bioengineering July 24, Biomedical engineering integrates physical, chemical, mathematical, and computational sciences and engineering principles to study biology, medicine, behavior, and health. It advances fundamental concepts; creates knowledge from the molecular to the organ systems level; and develops innovative biologics, materials, processes, implants, devices and informatics approaches for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of disease, for patient rehabilitation, and for improving health. In many respects The history of medicine is the history of its tools and hence The Biomedical Engineer is the person who invents and provides these tools. Indeed, the discipline continues to evolve and expand into new areas such as tissue engineering and regenerative medicine (TERM), a core research theme within the School of Engineering at the University of Ulster. Relevant professional bodies in the UK (and further afield) now see the need to support the development of Biomedical Engineering as a distinctive subject area, for example: Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) 2
3 Institution of Physicists and Engineers Medicine (IPEM) The Royal Academy of Engineering British Medical Association (BMA) The Royal Academy of Medicine Why Choose Biomedical Engineering at Ulster?

6 The first year of the course is introductory in nature and provides the student with the fundamental principles of the subject material concerned. Particular emphasis is placed on the provision of appropriate underpinning in key subject areas such as mathematics, physics, design, manufacturing, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering and professional engineering practice. Specialist knowledge related to biomedical engineering is provided through the provision of specialist modules in biomedical engineering in both semesters, providing an introduction to the field of biomedical engineering, medical technology, and human anatomy and physiology. A significant number of modules in Year 1 incorporate laboratory tuition to ensure that the students receive appropriate hands-on experience to enhance their learning experience, and to reinforce theoretical concepts. Working in the laboratory, a key focus of the teaching at Ulster. In the second year of the course, students are expected to refine their skills and attributes developed in Year 1 and to extend their knowledge of topics specific to Biomedical Engineering. Subjects covered include biomedical physics and their applications, medical technologies, biomaterials science, biomechanics, anatomy and physiology, medical device directives and standards, ethics, medical electronics, instrumentation and testing (with regard to medical devices, instrumentation and systems), and professional engineering practice. All of these subjects build upon the underpinning and introduction to the subject provided in Year 1, with a strong emphasis on laboratory work to enhance the students capabilities in preparation for placement in Year 3. 6
7 In Year 3, the student will undertake a period of paid placement in a clinical, industrial or academic setting. Placement is compulsory and seen as an integral part of the course providing the student the opportunity to develop into a junior engineer. Worldwide locations of graduates and placement students. In year 4 the students are expected to undertake more advanced studies in modules designed to build upon their knowledge and capabilities resulting from the previous taught years and placement experience. A considerable amount of personal initiative is expected and the modules are constructed in such a way as to reflect this. In particular, the ability to make logical and analytical appraisal of a problem and to provide a structured and optimised solution is developed in the Honours Research Project. The individual project helps integrate module material from across the course. The key themes covered in final year include medical sensor technologies for monitoring and sensing applications, analogue and digital signal processing methods with respect to medical applications, biomaterials and tissue engineering, nanotechnology, management, entrepreneurship and programming. 7
