Department of Biomedical Engineering has prepared a curriculum in line with the strategic plans of our university in order to train qualified engineers who can contribute to national and international industry in parallel with technological developments in the world. In the curriculum prepared in accordance with Bologna process, our students must first complete (or be exempt from) optional English preparatory education. In the program, which will take 240 ECTS courses and last for 8 semesters, it is aimed to specialize in professional elective courses in addition to determined basic (core) and compulsory courses.
In order to provide students with qualifications in their professions through the courses they will take as electives, professional elective courses are classified under three main frameworks (Biomaterials, Bioelectrics and Biomechanics). In addition, it is aimed to provide social and environmental awareness, professional ethics and to train entrepreneurial engineers with both social content courses in the Biomedical Engineering program and social elective courses they will take from other departments. With a strong professional formation, our students will be provided with high-level application skills with a compulsory summer internship before completing their engineering education. The diploma study in the education program aims to provide strategic problem solving and teamwork, creativity and oral and/or written presentation skills while developing designs.
In order to graduate from the program, it is planned to cooperate with Zonguldak Bülent Ecevit University Health Practice and Research Hospital for internship studies. Apart from this, our department is engaged in intensive research activities for students to complete their internships in the private sector, hospitals and especially in companies that manufacture, distribute and maintain medical devices and medical products.
The Biomedical Engineering Department cooperates with Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, chemistry, physics, biology, other engineering branches, and Faculty of Medicine. Some of the courses to be opened in the curriculum will be given jointly with Department of Electronics Engineering, however, cooperation will continue with Faculty of Medicine and Department of Electronics Engineering on topics that have common research activities.
Our department, which was established as the 3rd state university in Türkiye providing undergraduate education, aims to provide an international education with the different disciplines in its teaching staff and the diversity of programs targeted in its education plan.
