Scope

Medical Electronics engineers develop devices and procedures that solve medical and health-related problems by combining their knowledge of biology and medicine with engineering principles and practices. Many do research, along with life scientists, chemists, and medical scientists, to develop and evaluate systems and products such as artificial organs, prostheses (artificial devices that replace missing body parts), instrumentation, medical information systems, health management and care delivery systems. Medical Electronics engineers also design devices used in various medical procedures, imaging systems such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and devices for automating insulin injections or controlling body functions. Medical Electronics is a specialised discipline that advances knowledge in Engineering and Medicine, through cross-disciplinary activities that integrates the Engineering sciences with the Biomedical Sciences and Clinical Practice. Most engineers in this specialty need a sound background in another engineering specialty, such as mechanical or electronics engineering, in addition to specialized biomedical training. Some specialties within medical electronics engineering include biomaterials, biomechanics, medical imaging, rehabilitation engineering, and orthopaedic engineering.

Career Options

The United States Department of Labour reports that the number of biomedical engineering jobs will increase by 31.4 percent through 2010, double the rate for all other jobs combined. Overall job growth in this field will average 15.2% through the end of the decade.

The Health Care industry has been growing at a rapid pace in the past few years. With an annual growth rate of 30%, India is already inching closer to Singapore, an established Medicare hub in Asian region. The emerging emphasis on India as a Healthcare destination has further fuelled the rapid growth of the Healthcare Industry.

The Indian Healthcare Industry is estimated at US$22 billion and the Medical device market is estimated at US $ 1.85 billion and growing at 15% per annum. Thus with the rapid pace of growth comes the ever increasing demand for highly skilled and well trained Medical Electronics Engineering work force.

Eligibility

Admissions for the first year of the course shall be open to students who have passed the two-year Pre-University Examination (Science) conducted by the Karnataka State Pre-University Board.
