Greetings!
- The Keimyung University’s Department of biomedical Engineering is a University Department in School of Medicine which was established in 2010. Now we have 200 internal students. 6 talented academic staff has varied background in electrical engineering, computer engineering, artificial intelligent, bio-material science and medical imaging processing. This is a reflection of the multidisciplinary and integrative approach we take in biomedical engineering research and education. The undergraduate program while designed to provide students with strong fundamental and broad based learning in engineering and life sciences, its approach is integrative and students are exposed to clinical applications as well. There is strong emphasis in engineering design in the curriculum. Also, in order to achieve biomedical engineering development by cooperation between medicine and engineering, it is necessary to understand each other to some extent. In addition, to develop a system suitable for a medical environment, it is desirable to acquire enough medical knowledge to apply engineering techniques to medical situation and to be effective. In the final year, students are required to take on team research projects (Capstone Design) and make some new ideas for developing the medical instruments. Past students had done extremely well, winning campus and regional awards.
With Korea’s healthcare industry is rapidly growing, especially Daegu city, outstanding undergraduate students can be encouraged to join to the medical device R&D infrastructures and relevant enterprises. We also have a graduate program that aims to train graduate students in Biomedical Engineering research. Based on the several large research funding, highly competitive research scholarships are offered to students that demonstrate potential in research.
We encourage you to tour our departmental website and learn more about our department, undergraduate and graduate programs. Also, welcome all of you to tour our campus and do not hesitate to contact us.
