Biomedical engineering is a multi disciplinary field in which the principles of engineering are applied in solving problems in biology or medicine. it applies quantitative, analytical, and integrative methods from the molecular level to that of the whole organism to further our understanding of basic biological processes and to develop innovative approches for the preventation, diagnosis,and treatment of disease.

8. Implementation of the code and practice of hospital standards. The biomedical engineering
department imparts the knowledge to the students and prepares them to play an important
role when they go to the field jobs to aid the Human Health Services.
Scope of Biomedical Engineer
A biomedical engineer is equally sharing the responsibility of health care along with doctors and paramedical staff. This demands a well trained and directionally educated Biomedical Engineer. Unlike other engineering fields the advancement in Biomedical Engineering is more challenging. A biomedical Engineer is useful to the society in following manner:
1. As an engineer in medical hospital to maintain, train, monitor instruments.
2. Engineer in preparing up a proto-type instrument.
3. As a R&D engineer.
4. As a Service Engineer and Marketing Engineer for companies.
