1. Background
In the modern-days, development of a country mainly depends on the development of the
industries. The development of these sectors significantly depends on the standard of technical
education nurtured by the universities and the technical institutes of the country. It is observed that
most of the developed countries maintain a strong relationship between the universities and the
industries. It is believed that the universities are the gateway of new technologies. Universities
develop new technologies and by co-operating with industries they implement these technologies
to raise the standard and effectiveness of the industry. Universities take the responsibilities to
provide technical human resources for the industries of any country.
The core Strategy of the new Biomedical Engineering Program is to pursue its vision and mission
to enhance its research, linkage with industry, hospitals, academic and scholarly activities and
become a center of excellence for its programs, thereby improving its eminence in national and
international rankings.
Since September, 2015, Biomedical engineering (BME) degree program is intended to be launched
in Gondar University under the institute of technology. And on July, 2016, the first Curriculum
draft is developed for the newly intended Biomedical Engineering degree program. The program
has a duration of 5-years and prepares graduates for careers as professional engineers in such areas
as Bioinstrumentation, medical imaging, Rehabilitation Engineering, Hospital engineering and
management and so on. The aim of the program is to fulfill the demand of innovative, highly
skilled, practically-oriented, entrepreneurial, and ethical human resources in the various fields of
Biomedical Engineering such as Biomechanics, Medical Imaging, and Bioinstrumentation etc. The
students will have options to further specialize in any of the three basic divisions. A successful
graduate of the program will not only be globally competent but will also have an active and
decisive role in the health care system of the country.
2. Rationale of the program
Ethiopia is putting in extensive effort to expand and improve the quality of health care. As a result,
increasing amounts of medical equipment are being deployed to the peripheries to improve the
diagnostic and treatment capabilities of primary health care units. The spread of major equipment
such as x-ray machines, ultrasound units, and laboratory auto-analyzers is reaching facilities below
the referral hospital level, and the rate of such increase in equipment deployment is commendably
3. 3
accelerating. Due to this our country requires an equivalently accelerating number of professional
manpower, which have the capabilities to manage, maintain, and design medical equipment.
However the assessment revealed that the rate of increase in the number these BME professionals
(Engineers) lags very far behind compared to the increased rate of equipment deployment in
different hospitals, public and private health centers, and private equipment importers and
distributers. Especially the capabilities to manage or maintain medical equipment remain
extremely weak. This weakness is particularly serious in the peripheral health sectors. This implies
that more contribution is required from other higher learning institutions to feel the gap. Beyond
the production of more man powers which can only engage in management and maintenance of
equipment, higher learning institutions also have to increase the production of BM engineers who
can engage in conducting a research and designing new medical equipment’s which are suitable
for the country. The need for managing and maintaining of medical equipment is lagging far behind
the deployment of medical equipment’s and this situation is becoming very risky. Capital
investment is being wasted while quality of care suffers. Thus, more initiatives are required to
develop our own long term solution to these problems. Gondar University is dedicated to fill
critical human resource gaps of the country by launching BME programs which currently exists
only at Addis Ababa and Jimma universities.
The established need assessment on the program aspire Gondar University to become the long term
solution for the design, maintenance and management of medical equipment in the country through
training biomedical engineers. Needless to say, the design and management of medical equipment
requires a wide range of technical abilities, and the cost and time required to train biomedical
engineers increase markedly with the level of skill that must be attained. Experience in many
developing countries has revealed that training to a high level of skills is very expensive. Figure 1
shows a country’s inventory of medical equipment; height indicates the complexity (approximate
order), width indicates quantity. The pyramid shape reflects that items of simple equipment greatly
outnumber complex items. For example, there are clearly more sterilizers than ultrasounds and X-
ray machines. The maintenance of a wide range of equipment requires a correspondingly wide
range of technical skill levels; the cost and time required to train technicians increase dramatically
with level of skills required.
4. 4
Figure 1: Medical Equipment Inventory Pyramid (Cheng 1994, 1995)
In Figure 2, the inventory of equipment is divided into complexity categories A and B; line ob
represents the cost or time to train a basic technician to maintain the simple category B; line ba
represents the cost or time required to train midlevel personnel to maintain category A. This
graphical comparison suggests that at a much smaller cost, or in a shorter time period (ob compared
with ba), technicians can be trained to maintain a larger quantity of basic essential medical
equipment (B compared with A).
The pyramid model clearly shows the need to train mass of low-level technicians to maintain the
relatively simple but large quantity of essential medical equipment commonly found in peripheral
health facilities. This strategy requires less time, costs less, and delivers benefits to a larger
population. However, the low number of institutions that train biomedical engineers at the bachelor
level in our country hinders the training of large low-level technicians. So by launching BME
program, Gonder University intends to produce more biomedical engineers that in turn train more
low-level technicians at technical schools. Besides, the trained engineers could design, enhance
innovative use and management of equipment, and serve to maintain the rare and complex
instruments at research centers, central and regional institutions.

1995)
3. Philosophy of the Program
The curriculum will include all the basic concepts underpinning the program, like a biomedical theory
and practical on which the curriculum is based or a conceptual framework explaining the demand of
the biomedical engineering for a B.Sc. program. The biomedical department have a genuine reason
by pointing out the group or category students the program will produce, how it intends to do it, what
the students will do with the knowledge they acquire from the proposed program, whether they will
be able to work independently or will be skilled to improve industrial performance, who else other
than the target group will get benefit from this program to what extent the program is responding to
the needs of the community, to market issues and demands, to the availability of job opportunities,
skills requirements, capacity building, etc.
