Bachelor of Engineering (Biomedical Engineering)

The department of biomedical engineering was established in June 2016. The department currently has 16 core faculty members. Research areas in the department include MechanoMedicine, wearable devices and wireless health monitoring, de novo regenerative engineering, multiscale and multimodal biomedical imaging, computational medicine for big data and health informatics, biomedical MEMS.
The department of biomedical engineering receives strong support from the department of biomedical engineering at Columbia University and has formed its own undergraduate curricula based on the BME curricula of Columbia University. The major core courses and the capstone course ‘biomedical engineering design’ were introduced and adapted.
The SUSTech Biomedical Engineering programme train students in the field of engineering and applied sciences to address problems in biology, medicine and life sciences. This skill is crucial for the students to better understand the living systems and their behavior for the development of biomedical systems and devices. Through complex and sophisticated analysis, modern engineering adapts data acquisition and variable measurements to resolve questions that are currently unanswered. These analysis includes simulation and systems development within individual cells, organs, complex organisms and populative studies. The emphasis of the BME programme is to endow students with the understanding of basic engineering science and applied engineering (in both the physical and biological fields). The BME programme aspires to provide students with professional training in biomedical engineering, preparing them for employment or post-graduate studies in the relevant discipline.
