University of Engineering and Technology, Taxila


Biomedical Engineering Technology Department

Faculty of Electronics and Electrical Engineering.

About Department

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 (BMET) program at UET was established in 2017.

The Department offers a four years degree program in "Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering Technology". 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 of newly constructed combined Ibn-e-Sina academic block. The current enrolment of the department is 35 students per year.
