Biomedical Engineering

An engineer creates a tangible product (a tool, device, system or process) to solve a specific problem or meet a requirement. The engineer designs, builds and operates this product, examines its behavior under different operating conditions, and improves and develops it. As the problems to be solved or the requirements to be met become more complex, the fields of engineering expand, deepen and intertwine. In this process, new engineering disciplines emerge.

One of these is Biomedical Engineering, which has been developing with increasing momentum over the last fifty years.

The field of Biomedical Engineering is to understand the structures, working principles and interactions of biological systems in general, and in particular of the components of the human body, a highly organized and complex system, and to develop the tools, devices and systems needed to identify and resolve their functional disorders.

Examples of the topics biomedical engineers work on in this field include:;

• The design and production of electronic devices used for diagnosis such as ECG and MRI; instruments used for treatment such as cauteries and catheters; devices such as dialysis machines; systems such as surgical robots; artificial materials such as micro-platforms that carry various drugs and release them when needed; tools that increase the sensitivity and accuracy of limb and organ functions such as hearing aids; and devices that temporarily or permanently take over the functions of limbs and organs such as bone and vascular prostheses and heart valves;
• The development of the device–human interfaces needed for devices, systems and processes that have been designed, manufactured, performance-tested and made ready for use to serve with the highest performance in their areas of use;
• The development of various processes and management and organizational models to improve the quality and efficiency of healthcare services;

The design, production and testing of various virtual, mechanical and biological models to create platforms for the performance testing of biomedical devices and systems.


The Bahçeşehir University Department of Biomedical Engineering was established to educate research-oriented engineers with fundamental knowledge in natural sciences, human anatomy and physiology, basic and applied mathematics, system modeling and analysis methods, materials, electronics, control and computer science; theoretical and practical skills in the design, production and use of medical products and devices; and a sense of professional responsibility. Conducted in harmony with the other existing engineering departments as well as the programs of the Department of Genetics and Bioinformatics and the Faculty of Medicine, the education program is designed with the flexibility to allow students to determine their study durations, areas of expertise and post-graduation working environments in line with their interests and abilities.

Students who successfully complete the program can start their professional careers directly and work in

• hospitals and other healthcare institutions,
• universities,
• medical research centers,
• organizations that manufacture and sell medical devices and materials and provide after-sales support,
• the pharmaceutical industry,
• the information technology units of healthcare institutions;

or, if they wish, they can pursue graduate studies in related fields such as biomedicine, biomaterials, biomechanics, bioinformatics, medical physics, genetic engineering and tissue engineering, and participate in joint programs with partner universities abroad.
