2. Introduction
Biomedical Engineering alias BME is an emerging and
exciting discipline of engineering that has got tremendous
potential for research, development and employment.
Biomedical engineering may be defined as the study and
application of engineering principles and techniques to the
medical field. It is a combination of technical knowledge in
biology and medicine to improve life quality. This
interdisciplinary field that bridges life science and
engineering has an important role in prevention, therapy
and rehabilitation, as it combines the principles of two
dynamic professions, medicine and engineering. It is an apt
career for those who have a keen interest in medicine and
healthcare.
