Engineering and Technology for Biomedical Innovations

Department of Biomedial Engineering has been newly established in the School of Engineering, Okayama University of Science, aiming ot study and educate biomedical and clinical engineering which is an interdisciplinary field of engineering and medicine/biology and is recognized to be essential to medicine. Many hosptals, clinics, and biomedical industries need "Biomedical Engineers" and/or "Clinical Engineers" who have good knowledge of both engineering and medicine and also can develope, design, manufacture, and operate high-perfomance biomedical equipments and instruments. Recently, "Biomedical Engineers" who can handle cultured cells would be necessary for regenerative medicine.
Education

From the second year, each student select one of the following three courses:
1) Biomedical Engineering Course aiming to become biomedial engineers and researchers who can develop, design, and manufacture biomedical devices and instruments in biomedical industries and research laboratories, and
2) Clinical Engineering Course aiming to take national examinations for the License of Clinical Engineer who can operate and manage medical equipment and apparatus in hospitals and clinics.
3) Regenerative Medical Engineering Course aiming to become cell culture workers contributing to regenerative medicine.
NEW FACILITIES FOR RESEARCH AND EDUCATION

Most up-to-date clinical equipment and devices including heart-lung machine, dialyzers, and respirators, and apparatus for basic medicine and biology are installed for at 4th and 5th floors of Building D4 completed March, 2006. These facilities are utilized for practice of clinical engineering and basic medicine, and also for experiments of biomedical science and biomedical engineering.
Building 26

Our new laboratories were installed for at 3rd floor of Building B1 completed April, 2007.

What Is Clinical Engineer ?

Clinical Engineers having a national license are qualified to support medical doctors in clinical medicine; as a member of medical team, Clinical Engineers operate and manage such high-performance biomedical equipment and instruments as heart-lung machines, dialysis systems, and ultrasonic apparatus for diagnosis.
