What are the biomedical engineering majors?
I. Types
Biomedical engineering mainly includes biomedical engineering, prosthetic orthopedic engineering, clinical engineering technology and rehabilitation engineering.
1. Biomedical Engineering
Biomedical engineering combines the principles of physics, chemistry, mathematics, computer and engineering, and engages in the research of biology, medicine, behavior or hygiene; Put forward basic concepts, generate knowledge from molecular level to organ level, and develop innovative biological products, materials, processing methods, implants, instruments and informatics methods for disease prevention, diagnosis and treatment, patient rehabilitation and health improvement.
2. Prosthetic orthopedic engineering
Prosthetic orthopedic engineering mainly studies the basic knowledge and skills of the structure, design, materials, manufacture and rehabilitation engineering of prosthetic orthotics, corrects the missing or deformed body parts or organs of the disabled, configures compensation devices, and provides clinical rehabilitation services. For example, we design and manufacture artificial prostheses such as mechanical artificial hands and thigh prostheses, and provide clinical rehabilitation services such as prosthesis assembly and rehabilitation training.
3. Clinical engineering technology
It mainly includes the professional skills of operation, use, maintenance, function development and technical management of life support equipment such as operating room, ICU equipment and hemodialysis center, and is a compound clinical engineering and technical talent who has mastered the development of modern clinical medical equipment.
4. Rehabilitation project
Rehabilitation engineering specialty belongs to engineering and biomedical engineering specialty, which is an interdisciplinary subject of rehabilitation medicine and engineering technology. Through the research of comprehensive engineering technology such as machinery, electronics, computer and 3D printing technology, it can be used to prevent, evaluate, enhance, compensate or rebuild the functions of the disabled.
