    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Electrical Engineering
    • Medical Technology

    Background:

    • The established use of electronic instruments in medical diagnosis and therapy creates a demand for skilled electronic engineers.
    • There is a notable need for electronic engineers across various educational levels within both industry and the National Health Service.
    • Existing undergraduate biomedical electronics course provision in the UK was limited in the early 1970s, despite satisfactory postgraduate options.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To define the objectives for a first-degree course in Biomedical Electronics.
    • To emphasize the importance of practical, hands-on experience within industry and hospital settings as a core component of such a course.
    • To explore the feasibility of a specialized undergraduate option in Biomedical Electronics within an existing Electrical and Electronic Engineering BSc program.

    Main Methods:

    • Identifying key learning objectives for a Biomedical Electronics undergraduate curriculum.
    • Designing a sandwich course structure integrating academic study with practical industrial and hospital placements.
    • Aligning the course structure with the educational requirements for exemption from the Institution of Electrical Engineers (IEE) guidelines.

    Main Results:

    • A comprehensive set of objectives for a Biomedical Electronics degree was identified.
    • A viable sandwich course option in Biomedical Electronics was designed as a specialization within an Electrical and Electronic Engineering BSc.
    • The designed option allows for flexible entry and exit points and meets IEE educational standards.

    Conclusions:

    • A practical and industry-relevant undergraduate course in Biomedical Electronics can be successfully developed.
    • The implementation of such a course addresses the demand for qualified biomedical electronics engineers in the UK.
    • The described Biomedical Electronics option commenced at Lanchester Polytechnic in September 1977, providing a model for future programs.
