The Department initiated in 2004 with active Clinical Partnership with Vinayaka Mission’s Kirupananda Variyar Medical College & Hospitals (VMKVMCH), Salem - www.vmkvmc.edu.in. Also providing the Excellent Hands on training through Latest Technology Equipments (like as CT Scan, MRI Scan, Ventilator, Ultrasound, CATHLAB, Medical Devices and many Medical Equipments).

To provide a unique multidisciplinary engineering environment in Biomedical Engineering that focuses on producing graduates who apply scientific knowledge and Engineering design principles to contribute the society by developing Biomedical technology need for national health care system.

• To create an environment in which students thrive to the best in rational design and implementation of medical device and application.
• To understand local medical problem and developing strategies to tackle these problem to improve human lives.
• To enhance the challenges of health care problems.

Vinayaka Mission Institute of Medical Science (VIMS) - www.vimshospitals.com and Annapoorana Medical College & Hospital (AMCH) - www.amch.in are equipped with sophisticated biomedical equipments where our students are given hands on clinical trained.

These Programme aim at students who are interested in both medicine and engineering. This programme blends traditional engineering techniques with biological sciences to improve the quality of human health and focuses on understanding complex living systems and use of technology & systems to improve diagnosis and treatment.

• B.Tech. - BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING (Full Time )

Department of Biomedical Engineering is mainly created for students who are interested in both Medicine and Engineering. This programme blends traditional engineering techniques with biological sciences to improve the quality of human health and focuses on understanding complex living systems and also use of modern technology & systems for the development & improvement of Healthcare Solutions (Diagnosis and Treatment).

According to the recent survey in IEEE's Spectrum Magazine, "Biomedical Engineering is one of the best areas to work in". Biomedical engineers are expected to have employment growth that is much faster than the average for all other occupations. "The aging of people and the focus on health issues will drive demand for better medical devices and equipments designed by biomedical engineers". Students can look forward to many exciting careers in the manufacturing units of Medical Equipment Companies, Medical R&D Institutions, Hospitals and Pharmaceutical Companies. The annual package offered to students placed in biomedical industry is about 7000 USD, on an average.

Engineering Graduates will be able to:

1. Engineering knowledge: Apply the knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering fundamentals, and an engineering specialization to the solution of complex engineering problems.
2. Problem analysis: Identify, formulate, review research literature, and analyze complex engineering problems reaching substantiated conclusions using first principles of mathematics, natural sciences, and engineering sciences.
3. Design/Development of solutions: Design solutions for complex engineering problems and design system components or processes that meet the specified needs with appropriate consideration for the public health and safety, and the cultural, societal, and environmental considerations.
4. Conduct investigations of complex problems: Use research-based knowledge and research methods including design of experiments, analysis and interpretation of data, and synthesis of the information to provide valid conclusions.
5. Modern tool usage: Create, select, and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering and IT tools including prediction and modeling to complex engineering activities with an understanding of the limitations.
6. The engineer and society: Apply reasoning informed by the contextual knowledge to assess societal, health, safety, legal and cultural issues and the consequent responsibilities relevant to the professional engineering practice.
