Biomedical Engineering Khalifa University

Overview

The Biomedical Engineering BSc program at Khalifa University integrates engineering and molecular and cellular biology into a single BME core (45 credits), in addition to the Mathematics/Science courses (32 credits), and General Studies courses (26 credits). Each student selects an Area of Specialization (12-16 credits) that provides more depth in a selected area of Biomedical Engineering. The instructional program is designed to impart knowledge of contemporary issues relevant to the health challenges in the UAE and at the forefront of biomedical engineering research in student-centered, collaborative learning environments.

The Biomedical Engineering programs overall goal is to produce high quality engineers who will be leaders in their field and who are well equipped to pursue further graduate degrees, medical school, or professional careers.

Career Opportunities

Biomedical engineers are well prepared for advanced educational opportunities and research, in both masters and doctoral programs connected with the Healthcare Engineering Innovation Center (HEIC) and Biotechnology Center (BTC), as well as in professional degrees, including the Medical Doctor (MD) (via the Pre-Med track embedded within the undergraduate studies) and the Masters in Public Health (MPH).

Career Specialization

• Enhancement and application of medical instrumentation and imaging technologies, along with new diagnostic tools, via advanced biosignal processing techniques, employing AI-based solutions.

• Development of medical devices, such as artificial organs and limbs, and provision of new alternatives in disease diagnosis and intervention, such as in cardiometabolic, mental, and neurodegenerative diseases.
