Biomedical Engineering (BME) constitutes human beings' earliest efforts to understand the living world in terms of the basic sciences and to comprehend the body mechanism in terms of their technological creations. Biomedical Engineering involves the study and application of engineering processes for diagnosis and therapy. It is a rapidly changing interdisciplinary domain in which each branch of engineering interacts with a number of other disciplines to yield a fundamental understanding of health maintenance processes and improved diagnosis, optimal interventional (surgical, therapeutic & rehabilitative) procedures, prosthesis and organ assist systems, health care systems performance and econometrics.
Osmania University is the first University to start Biomedical Engineering at undergraduate level in the country. The course was started in the year 1982 with an intake of 10 students in the Department of Electronics and Communications Engineering. An exclusive Biomedical Engineering Department was formed in the year 1993 to give the much-needed thrust to Programme. The student intake was enhanced to 30 in the year 1996. The department moved to its present premises in the year 1997.
The department has been engaged in research and consultancy projects. It received research grants from various government agencies such as AICTE, UGC, DST, TEQIP (Phase I & II), etc. The department established a Biomedical Instrumentation Centre (BMIC) to cater to the needs of the medical profession. The B.E (BME) programme of the department has been accredited by the NBA for five years with effect from August 2013. The B.E (BME) programme has got reaccreditation by the National Board of Accreditation (NBA) for a maximum of six years with effect from November 2019. The faculty members of the department are also active, effective and acknowledged contributors to UPE project of the UGC. The department started a postgraduate program in Biomedical Electronics in the academic year 2006-2007. The department also offers Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering. The total floor space of 10800 sq ft houses classrooms, laboratories and other amenities.
