About the Department
Department of Medical Electronics Engineering
The Under Graduate Programme B.E.-Medical Electronics started in the year 2019 and is functioning effectively to impart quality education to under graduate engineering students in the field of Medical Electronics. The institution has become an Autonomous Institution from 2019 onwards, and the curriculum and syllabus is periodically upgraded to meet the Industry requirements through Board of Studies Meeting and hence ensures in producing employable graduates.
The department has highly qualified and well experienced faculties specialized in areas like Instrumentation, Biomedical Engineering, Medical electronics, Applied Electronics. The faculty members are actively involved in Teaching –Learning process and Research activities in the field of electronics with medical applications. The faculty members actively take part in attending and organizing various events to abreast with the latest technological advancement for the betterment of faculty, student and hence the institution.
The need and motivation behind the commencement of the course ‘Medical Electronics’ is based on considering the following scope:
- A Career in Medical electronics is a developing field that makes engineers solve healthcare-related problems and finding cure for diseases by innovating sophisticated equipments.
- Fast growth in medical technology will require a huge number of engineers to develop and manufacture diagnostic devices, drugs and other therapies.
- In the future, there will be a huge demand in private and government job opportunities to recruit medical electronic engineers to work in the area of manufacturing, research, production and quality assurance control.
- Demands on high-quality and low-cost healthcare and medical diagnose/treatments have been rapidly increased
- Medical Electronics is an area that bridges engineering, biology, and medicine disciplines and has great opportunities for industry and new science findings.
Medical Electronics course gives a way over engineering with medical science by laying deep knowledge in electronics. It focuses on physiological functions of human body and integrates it with engineering principles to apply different techniques, skills, tools to solve clinical and healthcare problems for the patient needs like prostheses, medical information systems, artificial organs, instrumentation, care delivery systems and health management.
First year Core Curriculum begins with a common knowledge Base and customizes Students by grounding in basic Engineering Foundation and in Critical Hands on Skills in Engineering Practices, the Course has access to enhance the Learning, Student Perspective and Experience to develop Specialization in areas of ‘Medical Electronics’. Class room learning is complemented by Practice in Hi-Tech Labs, Projects and Hands on Experiences, and through internships so as to foster Knowledge in ‘Engineering and Technology’.
Concept and Importance of Universal Values and ethics are taught and Technical and Soft skill training is also provided in order to transform the students as a successful engineer as well as good human.
The main advantage of doing Medical Electronics Course here is students can be brought to their own hospital, SIMS Hospital and SRM Medical College Hospital and Research Centre (SRM MCHRC) to give hands on experience / demonstration of certain sophisticated equipments.
