生物医学工程涉及将传统工程原理应用于医疗保健和医学。我们可以将大脑和神经系统视为一个大型的通信系统，它协调并在人体周围传输信号，而器官和四肢则是控制诸如运动，呼吸和血液流动等功能的复杂工程系统。UCD生物医学工程师在电气/电子和机械工程方面具有扎实的基础，并且对生理学和解剖学有一定的了解。
Biomedical Engineering involves the application of traditional engineering principles to healthcare and medicine. We can think of the brain and nervous system as a large communication system, which co-ordinates and transmits signals around the body, and the organs and limbs as sophisticated engineering systems that control functions such as movement, respiration and blood ow.<br><br>UCD Biomedical Engineers are educated with a strong foundation in electrical, electronic and mechanical engineering, which is complemented by an understanding of physiology and anatomy. This foundation is applied to problems in medicine and healthcare in specialised modules such as Biomechanics, Medical Device Design, Neural Engineering, Rehabilitation Engineering and Cell Culture & Tissue Engineering. If you are interested in developing new medical techniques, systems and devices, and you want to be involved in the breakthroughs that are improving the healthcare system for doctors and patients every day, then this is the course for you.<br><br>Length of Course:<br>3 Years (BSc) (Hons) plus 2 Years (ME) or 4 Years (BE)
