Experience of teaching an introductory Biomedical Engineering Course for Undergraduate ECE Students in Pakistan

摘要

In early 20th century, Electrical and Mechanical Engineering fields were well established and Medical Sciences were experiencing cutting edge research. However, as research in Medical Sciences progressed, it came across rehabilitating body structures and diagnosing and treating through control and communication signals inside the body. Right at this moment, it started to knock doors of Engineering for the expertise they had in dealing with structures and signals. Since Medical Sciences required assistance from various domains of Engineering, researchers felt need for a new specialized field aiming at bridging the gap between different disciplines. Later, with the advent of modern computing techniques, new avenues of research were opened in Biomedical Engineering which is a merger of traditional engineering and computing disciplines, life science and medicine. At this moment Biomedical Engineering is dealing with as diverse fields as Medical Tribology and Bioinformatics.
