The Division of BME coordinates and promotes faculty collaboration in
teaching and research in biomedical engineering. In addition, the
Division hosts the bioengineering postgraduate program, and works
closely with Schools of Science (SSCI) and Engineering
(SENG) to support the planning and development of a set of biomedical
foundation courses to enhance undergraduate programs in biotechnology
and bioengineering sponsored by SSCI and SENG, respectively. The
Division also fosters interdisciplinary research in areas of
biomedical engineering in collaboration with the Schools and industry.
The setup of this new Division reflects HKUST's strong interests and
commitments in interdisciplinary biomedical engineering education and
research.
The Division is established to fulfill the following mission:
- To pursue excellence in biomedical engineering research to attain the
highest academic standard possible;
- To lead and develop interdisciplinary educational activities of direct
interest to biomedical engineering;
- To develop and lead biomedical engineering research projects relevant to the local community that attracts partnerships and sponsorship from local industries and the community.
Our students, our colleagues and I are very much excited about our
Division. We will keep you regularly updated on our development.
Please visit us again! If you have inputs to our Division, feel free
to email us! We thank you for your suggestions in advance.
