BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING – EXAMINATION 2026
COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT IN BIOMEDICAL INSTRUMENTATION,
BIOMECHANICS, BIOMATERIALS, MEDICAL IMAGING, SIGNAL PROCESSING, AND
HUMAN PHYSIOLOGY APPLICATIONS
MATHEMATICAL MODELING, AND APPLICATION OF ENGINEERING
PRINCIPLES
SPRING SEMESTER EXAMINATION [2025/2026]
What is biomedical engineering?
The application of principles of engineering, math & physical science to problems in biology and
medicine
Problems in BME? (2)
- modeling of normal or abnormal physiology
- research and design of instrumentation and machines for medical diagnosis or therapy
BME branches (5)
- biomaterials
- biomechanics
- biomedical imaging
- biosensors and instrumentation
1|Page
, - tissue engineering
Biomaterials
Development of devices which are used to enhance life processes (ex: biological/artificial heart)
Biomechanics
The use of engineering or physics principles to understand the performance of an organism
Biomedical imaging
The development and improvement of imaging devices (ex: x-rays, MRIs, CAT scans, ultrasound
Biosensors and instrumentation
The development of sensors and data collection systems to monitor and provide feedback on
human body processes (ex: contact lenses monitoring blood glucose levels for diabetes)
Tissue engineering
development of mechanisms to regrow tissues, mostly through provision of environments in
which tissues may grow (ex: through use of stem cells, 3D printing)
What was the first prosthetic to be used, where/when was it found and when is it from?
