About the Department
The Biomedical profession has evolved over the years in response to innovations in science and technology.
Revolutionary advances in medical imaging and diagnostics have changed the way medicine is practiced.
It is expected that the biomedical field will play a critical role in future health care. The multidisciplinary
Engineering and Technology skills are integrated with human biology to improve human health. Recently it has been
observed that a great demand of biomedical engineers and technologists in the society due to the availability of
modern diagnostic equipment and healthcare facilities. In order to provide the required skilled workforce, the
Biomedical Engineering & Technology Department was established at UET, Taxila in 2017.
The Department of Biomedical Engineering & Technology (BMET) offers the following programs:
- Bachelor of Biomedical Engineering (BME) (Not started yet)
- Bachelor of Engineering Technology (Biomedical) (BMT)
The students are provided with an educational foundation that prepares them to choose their career in industry or academia.
The Department is situated on 2nd floor on combined Ibn-e-Sina academic block.

Academic program
Biomedical Engineering Technology Program
The Biomedical Engineering & Technology is the new program at UET, Taxila. The program course work alternates with real
world employment in healthcare related industry and the related medical laboratories. The relatively young faculty members
conduct research in the fields of biomaterials/tissue engineering/biomechanics/biosensors/bioimaging/bioinformatics/computational
bioengineering etc.
Since its inception, the program has been active in recruiting outstanding new faculty members to support its teaching and research
activities and we continuously add significantly to this faculty base. Our faculty members have tremendous potential to change the
traditional way of thinking about engineering & technology education, pedagogy and research excellence. The program strives for
continuous improvement, and we continue to update the undergraduate curricula to better meet the needs of today's students and
tomorrow's practicing engineers and technologist, as well as for students who want a strong technical background.
Accreditation Status
