Biomedical Engineering

Georgia Institute of Technology offers bachelor's and graduate programs in Biomedical Engineering. The undergraduate curriculum is based on a solid foundation in fundamental Engineering, Mathematics, and Science (Physics, Chemistry, and Biology) and includes Humanities, Social Science, and Communication Skills. Once completing the curriculum, students develop self-directed and problem-solving skills in a team-based environment.

On the other hand, a master's degree in Biomedical Engineering revolves around Biomedical Imaging and Instrumentation; Biomaterial and Regenerative Technologies; Cellular Engineering and Mechanics; Neuroengineering; and more. The overall quality of both the UG and PG programs is good.

You can choose from a variety of courses in BME available at the UG level in India. Some of the popular choices among students include:

• BSc Biomedical Engineering
• B Tech Biomedical Engineering
• B.E Biomedical Engineering
• Integrated BTech-MTech in Biomedical Engineering

Most of these courses are 4 years long. In case of the integrated BTech-MTech course, the duration is 5 years. BME courses will provide you a lot of knowledge about the designing and functioning of medical devices and equipment for improvement in healthcare. The medical industry is constantly aiming for an upgrade with the help of new technologies, for which they need biomedical graduates with good healthcare knowledge, analytical skills, and creativity to assist in product development after conducting medical research. A UG degree may give you the right research aptitude and increase your chances of career advancement. Rest, the choice rests with you.

There are a lot of PG level Biomedical Engineering courses to choose from. Taking into account past admission trends, some of the most popular student choices include:

• M Tech in Biomedical Engineering
• MSc Biomedical Engineering
• M.E Biomedical Engineering
• PG Diploma in Biomedical Engineering (1 to 2 years)

These BME courses are usually 2 years long. These courses will equip you with the right skills to do well in the professional world of biomedical industry. Every industry is looking for an upgrade with the help of new technologies, and the healthcare sector is a crucial part of it, for which they need talented and knowledgeable people with good technical aptitude, analytical skills, and innovative approach. A PG degree may give you an edge over other candidates and increase your chances of career advancement. Rest, the choice rests with you.

The duration of BME courses generally depends on the course level. The courses in Biomedical Engineering are available at the diploma, undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctorate levels. The Diploma courses are usually 3 years long; which students can even pursue after completing Class 10. Diploma holders in Biomedical Engineering can also apply for lateral entry admission to B Tech Biomedical Engineering and enter directly in the second year of the course.

Talking about the BTech in BME course, the duration in India is 4 years, while for the M Tech course in Biomedical Engineering, the duration is 2 years in general. For PhD courses, the time span may vary from 3 years to 6 years on the basis of your research topic and the institution you're pursuing your doctorate degree at.
