Biomeical Engineering is a discipline that deals with the application of engineering sciences to solve problems in the field of medical sciences. Biomecial Engineering is a multidisciplinary field of sciences that integrates two major fields of sciences, namely the field of medical sciences and the field of engineering sciences. The role of Biomedical Engineering includes.

(a) Design, such as development, use of materials, equipment such as medical ultrasonic, pacemaker etc.
(b) Engineering, such as biomedical signal and image processing, artificial intelligence etc.

The manifestation of this role can be observed at the research level and at the clinical application level. At the research level, efforts are made to discover new methods that involve finding solutions to problems in the field (clinical) by utilizing engineering principles. While at the clinical application level, it is clearly seen that various medical devices that are applied are products of biomedical engineering discipline engineering, clinical engineer staff ranging from maintenance engineering to clinical engineer consultants together with clinical staff serve patients at a health care institution. The scientific fields in biomedical engineering are as follows.

(a) Biomechanics
(b) Biomedical instrumentation
(c) Biomedical signal processing and analysis
(d) Biomaterials
(e) Physiologic modeling, simulation, and control
(f) Medical and biological system analysis
(g) Biomedical imaging and image processing
(h) Rehabilitation engineering
(i) Artificial organs
(j) Artificial organs
(k) Medical informatics
(l) Biotechnology
(n) Clinical engineering
