Welcome to the website of the Department of Biomedical Engineering.
Due to the aging population and improved living standards, more precise healthcare requirements are growing, and technologies such as big data, artificial intelligence, IoT, and 3D printing, which are the foundations of the fourth industry, are interacting and converging with medical and life sciences. Therefore, biomedical Engineering studies are drawing keen attention as a key field for the next generation.
Accordingly, the Department of Biomedical Engineering aims to cultivate creative talents who can overcome the technical limitations of the medical engineering industry, convergent talents who can cooperate and integrate technologies with various disciplines, and global capabilities.
In the Department of Biomedical Convergence, professors from related majors participate together to manage students' employment, counseling, and guidance individually to foster creative, convergent, global, and practical talents. We will do our best so that the Department of Biomedical Convergence can serve as a stepping stone to achieve students' dreams.
Thank you.

| No. | Grade | Semester | Subject name | Credit and time | Explanation |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 35 | 3 | 1 | Introduction to Biomedical Engineering | 3-3-0 | This subject is a subject that learns about the overall medical science, and includes a brief review of the history of science, engineering, and medicine, and identifying the location of medical science in it. Understand how engineering technologies are used in each field of modern medicine, and learn how convergence technologies of IT and BT will affect future medical developments. It is planned to be a time for each student to plan their future as a medical engineering student. Specifically, it introduces what research is being conducted and how it is used in each field of medical science such as bio-signals, medical images, biomaterials, surgical systems, and medical information. |
| 34 | 3 | 1 | Biomechanical engineering | 3-3-0 | This subject mainly applies to living biostructures based on epidemiological theories, and includes a very wide field of medical research as a subject to learn about understanding, analyzing, and applying the principles to new research fields. Specifically, we learn about the mechanical properties of each biological tissue, hydrodynamic properties in the cardiovascular and respiratory systems, material properties of biomass, interaction with biological tissues, various control mechanisms involved in biomass and exercise, and biomimetic based on various analyses. |
| 33 | 3 | 1 | Medical terminology | 3-3-0 | It fosters basic knowledge and basic knowledge used in performing medical health-related tasks, and cultivates the ability to cope with the medical field by acquiring comprehensive medical knowledge by learning a wide range of professional medical terms. |
| 32 | 3 | 1 | Python Foundation | 3-3-0 | This subject learns the basics of Python language and the concept of Pythonic code, and introduces advanced programming concepts and techniques such as object-oriented programming. In addition, basic data handling methods for data analysis, such as processing, summarizing, and visualizing data using Python, are learned through practice. In particular, it is possible to learn the Numpy and Pandas modules in depth. |
| 31 | 3 | 1 | Intelligent IoMT Foundation | 3-3-0 | Based on the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), a technology that connects information, devices, and systems as one, CPS, a system that connects and integrates digital and physical real-world, determines the efficiency and physiological information of subjects.
