Department of Biomedical Engineering

About Department

Biomedical engineering is an exciting, rapidly growing field that allows graduates to apply their knowledge and skills to solve problems in biology and medicine, playing a central role in advancing healthcare, medicine, and patient care. At IUK in Kuwait, biomedical engineering students and faculty members research new methods to diagnose diseases, improve therapies for the treatment of diseases, and develop cutting-edge medical technologies that are being implemented in hospitals and clinics across the country.


Department Mission

In addition to providing our students with a strong background in engineering, mathematics, and biological science, our Biomedical Engineering Program's mission focuses on educating students to prepare them for opportunities in areas of improved health care delivery and better home health care monitoring. This is achieved through noninvasive home health prognostics to anticipate and track major health pathologies. The curriculum is designed to establish a fundamental understanding of life and engineering sciences. Enabling the synthesis of these sciences through introduction of new courses directed toward bio-sensing and bio-analytics, and thus educating the next generation of engineers/scientists/physicians, helping move health care monitoring to our homes and allowing people to better manage their health.
