PART ONE. Major Introduction

Biomedical Engineering (BME) services for human health, combines with physics, chemistry, mathematics and computer science in the field of medicine and biology, solves the biomedical problem by using the principles and methods of engineering. Biomedical Engineering is a new interdisciplinary subject that pays equal attention to theory and practice; and has extremely creativeness. It is one of the key disciplines with high priority and major support in China for the twenty-first century.

Biomedical Engineering is dedicated to disease prevention, treatment, rehabilitation and health for human beings, to provide innovative results for extending human life, to provide advanced scientific methods for exploring life phenomena,and to utilize engineering technology to explore the principles of life sciences and solve the problems in medical diagnosis, treatment, biomedicine and ecological information management.

Biomedical Engineering of Shandong University founded in 1999 is Shandong Province brand professional and talent base class with school—level interdisciplinary characteristics; applies consecutive cultivation mode of 4 years (undergraduate) + 3 years (master) and the system of undergraduate tutor. The BME of Shandong University is entitled to award doctor degree as a first-class discipline, as well as master of engineering and master of professional degree; and establishes the Biomedical Engineering postdoctoral station and forms a complete education system bachelor—master—doctor.
