Head of Biomedical Engineering Department Word

Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds, and prayers and peace be upon the most honorable of prophets and messengers, our master Muhammad, may God bless him and his family and companions,

I am pleased to welcome you to the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the College of Engineering at King Faisal University, as the department represents one of the most developed fields of engineering in our beloved country, which is experiencing an unprecedented transformational renaissance in several sectors, one of these transformations include engineering and health sectors. As Biomedical Engineering represents an important element in the technical development of the health sector with its various engineering applications, it contributes to deal with medical and vital cases accurately and precisely. Therefore, the Biomedical Engineering Department sought to qualify biomedical engineering cadres to keep pace with the rising in the labor market.

Many health sectors, including service providers and manufacturers and developers of medical equipment technologies, are seeking distinguished biomedical engineers capable of keeping pace with medical technical development. Due to increasing demand to enroll to the program, we have worked to activate the department's continuous improvement plans to ensure that it keeps pace with the highest standards of academic and research quality.

The department is keen to include distinguished faculty members, provide a stimulating academic and research environment, and practical and scientific projects that contribute to enhancing learning outcomes and qualifying graduates to keep pace with developments in the labor market. Thus, the Biomedical Engineering Department highly has considered acquiring the scientific and professional skills that guarantee their excellence and prepare them for the requirements of professional accreditation, certificates and international professional licenses. The department also seeks to enhance communication and build effective and productive partnerships with various sectors to provide high quality of training to the students lead to professional opportunities. We also express our pride in our department's graduates over the past years as they represent an extension of the human capabilities development that we always look forward seeing them contribute to advancing the development wheel of our country and achieving the aspirations of our leadership.
Thank you & Regards
