工学学士学位（生物医学）

生物医学工程是一个相对较新的工程分支，涉及使用尖端技术来帮助改善人类医疗保健。生物医学工程师参与医疗设备，植入物（如支架），器械和临床材料的设计和制造。他们还将工程技术应用到人类生物学问题中，并在21世纪人类医学发展的最前沿，使医学界能够诊断和治疗疾病，以及修复或更换受损的活组织。<br> <br>该学位课程是根据生物医学行业对高技能人员的需求而开发的。它的设计涉及本地生物医学公司，其中有大量集群。因此，它在满足工业需求的同时，还为学生提供了工程设计原理及其在跨学科环境中的人体生物学应用方面的全面培训。学
Biomedical Engineering is a relatively new branch of engineering that involves the use of cutting-edge technologies to help improve human healthcare. Biomedical engineers are involved in the design and creation of medical devices, implants such as stents, instruments and materials for clinical use. They also apply their engineering skills to problems in human biology and are at the forefront of developments in human medicine in the 21st century, enabling the medicial profession to diagnose and treat disease, and repair or replace damaged living tissue.<br>This degree programme was developed as a result of the need within the biomedical industry for highly skilled personnel. Locally based biomedical companies, of which there is a significant cluster, were involved in its design. It therefore remains highly relevant to the needs of industry while giving students a full training in engineering design principles and their application to human biology in an interdisciplinary environment. Related, relevant subjects that are covered over the course of the degree programme include biomedical instrumentation, tissue engineering and biomechanics.<br><br>Career Opportunities<br>Biomedical Engineering offers a variety of career opportunities in such areas as private industry, universities, hospitals, research facilities, education and medical institutes, in teaching and in working for government regulatory agencies. With eight of the world's top ten biomedical companies based in Ireland - many of which are in Galway - there are good prospects for employment nationally while remaining open to opportunities overseas.
