Minor in Biomedical Engineering
Biomedical Engineering is a discipline that advocates knowledge in engineering, biology and medicine. It improves human health through inter disciplinary integration of the engineering sciences with the biomedical sciences. Biomedical Engineering forms part of the Life Sciences, which is fast becoming a strategic area of economic development in Singapore. The aim of this minor is to enable students to understand how the principles and tools of traditional engineering fields, such as mechanical, materials, electrical, chemical engineering, can be applied in biology and medicine. It will be suited to students who wish to pursue further career opportunities in hospitals and healthcare centres, medical devices, pharmaceutical, biotechnology and biomaterials industries.
Open to all NUS students with the exception of those undertaking the Bachelor of Engineering (Biomedical Engineering) degree.
