Overview

The Department of Biomedical Engineering was established in line with the Saudi vision 2030 to raise the contribution of Saudi women in the engineering sector of labor market.

First batch of Biomedical Engineering students has been admitted to the bachelor's degree program, starting from the 1443 AH academic year. Biomedical Engineering department is considered the third approved department in the College of Engineering at Princess Nourah Bint Abdulrahman University.

Biomedical Engineering is a hybrid field between Medicine and Engineering.  It uses all Engineering theories in all different Engineering fields and employ them to meet the needs of the human body.

 

Biomedical Engineering specialty has several fields that can be summarized as:

1.      Biomedical Instrumentation: It concerns with design and maintenance of biomedical instrumentations whether it is used for diagnosis or monitoring and treatment.

2.      Tissue Engineering:  It concerns with study of human body cells and finding alternatives, for them whether tissues and organs.

3.      Biomechanical, Biomaterials, Prosthesis Engineering: It concerns with study of artificial devices that replace a missing body part, which may be lost through trauma, and disease.

4.      Clinical Engineering: It concerns with developing, implementing, and directing equipment management programs. Specific tasks include accepting and installing new equipment, establishing preventive maintenance and repair programs, and managing the inventory of medical instrumentation. Also, Evaluating and taking appropriate action on incidents attributed to equipment malfunctions or misuse.
