Introduction

Biomedical Engineering is the application of physical and engineering principles and methods to biology in the medical field. It combines the design and problem solving skills of engineering with medical and biological sciences to improve healthcare diagnosis and treatment.  The department of Biomedical Engineering was established in 2006 (first in West Africa) for the purpose of contributing to the growing health needs of Ghana in the area of hospital equipment and technical expertise. The first batch of Biomedical Engineers from All nations University College was graduated in May 2010 and they found gainfully employed in health sectors, companies, etc. We have nearly 125 students in Biomedical Engineering department, our teaching and research focus is to equip students with the knowledge required for effective contribution to national development in the areas of design of medical instruments, devices and software, and to conduct research to solve clinical problems.         
Objectives

The Bachelor of Engineering (Biomedical Engineering) programme aims to develop appropriate graduate employability skills by incorporating developments in information technology, society’s changing work patterns, sustainable design practices and the need to meet world-best practice in engineering education by:

• Providing students with a sound foundation in physiology and the application of physics to biomedical systems.
• Exploring how engineering principles can be applied to investigate and solve problems in biology and medicine.
• Developing students with a strong foundation in electrical, electronics and systems engineering and the opportunity to specialise in either electronics or systems engineering.
• Developing students’ skills in the analytical and design methods used in biomedical engineering and their ability to integrate knowledge from a range of disciplines to analyse and solve problems in both electrical and biomedical engineering.
• Introducing students to the role of the biomedical engineers in industry, research and the provision of health services. This includes the regulatory, social and financial frameworks governing and influencing the development of biomedical engineering
• Developing students with the ability to conduct pre-planned protocol-based experiments on biological and engineering topics. Interpret and report the data obtained, critically evaluate it and convey the results using a variety of media.
• Developing the skills to undertake independent research project, demonstrating project planning and time management as well as technical skills
• Introducing students to the skills necessary for working in a clinical environment as an effective team member.
• Contribute to the personal and professional development of students, providing a foundation for a wide range of subsequent study and life long learning.
