3.  Introduction
2017/2018
 Clinical Engineering
(CE) represents the part of
Biomedical Engineering focused on the
applications of theories and methodologies of the
broad biomedical engineering field
to improve the quality of health services .

4. 2017/2018
 Biomedical engineer
‘Clinical Engineers’ (also known as Biomedical Engineers) are a
unique group of engineering professionals who have extensive
exposure to various disciplines of clinical medicine, and are
involved in managing the medical equipment in
hospitals throughout its life cycle.
Their contribution is crucial to activities such
as medical equipment selection, procurement
, incoming inspection, installation, user training
, periodic performance evaluation, safety testing
, preventive maintenance, breakdown
maintenance and safe disposal.
