BRIEF PROFILE: DEPARTMENT OF BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING
INTRODUCTION
The Department of Biomedical Engineering was formed in 2001. Currently, it is offering Biomedical Engineering
undergraduate Programme. The department has also established two research centers namely Centre for
Applied Biomechanics (CAB) and Center for Innovation in Medical Engineering (CIME) to enhance research
activities and to provide consultancy to the public and private sectors.
PROGRAMME SYNOPSIS
Bachelor of Biomedical Engineering
The first Biomedical Engineering programme in Malaysia was founded in 1997. Biomedical Engineering
involves the application of the latest advances in engineering and scientific knowledge for Biomedical use.
Our undergraduate programme prepares students for positions in Biomedical Engineering industries or to
pursue advanced Postgraduate Studies.
During the first and second years of study, students will focus upon core Electrical and Mechanical
Engineering and biology-based topics giving students a firm foundation upon which to build the rest of the
degree programme. To enhance students’ soft skills, Critical Thinking and Communication courses are
provided to all students.
Third year students will move into engineering topics to a more advanced level as well as incorporating an
industrial placement module, bringing both a higher level of practical expertise and engineering exposure
which will benefit students throughout the rest of the programme and in their future careers. Prior to
industrial placement, students have an opportunity to interact with medical specialists at the University
of Malaya Medical Centre (UMMC) that adds further depth to their work. This provides student an
opportunity to suggest solutions to overcome problems faced by UMMC.
The final year courses offer the final year thesis project and elective courses. Due to diverse specialties of
our lecturers, students have opportunity to specialize in a wide range of fields. At the end of the thesis
project, the students are obliged to present and defend their project. In addition, the department
organizes visits to industry to expose students to a commercial working environment. There are also
lectures from the industry in every semester to enable students to hear first-hand from prominent
biomedical engineers.

OUTCOMES-BASED EDUCATION (OBE)
Outcome-Based Education (OBE) had been implemented in the Faculty of Engineering since 2004, in
accordance with the directives of the Ministry of Higher Education and the Board of Engineers, Malaysia
(BEM). This is also one of the requirements for Malaysia to become a full member of the Washington
Accord, an international agreement to mutually recognize Bachelor degrees in engineering. The
implementation of OBE, as outlined below, is based on guidelines prescribed by the Engineering
Accreditation Council (EAC) of Malaysia.
Unlike the traditional teacher-centered method, OBE is an educational approach that is more concerned
about the outcome (what students can do) rather than the process (what instructors did). This is believed
to enhance learning, and hence produce better graduates. For OBE to be successful, it is critical to
prescribe the expected outcomes, to measure them objectively, and to take corrective actions where
required.
(a) Course Learning Outcomes (CLO) ---what students should be able to perform at the end of each course
(b) Programme Learning Outcomes (PLO) --- a composite set of abilities after students finished all courses
All CLOs will contribute to some of the PLOs. This is to ensure that upon completion of the courses, all
PLOs are sufficiently covered.
To guide the formation and fine-tuning of these outcomes, the Department has formulated the
Programme Educational Objectives (PEO). These are aspirations for graduates to attain 3 to 5 years upon
graduation. The PLOs are designed to produce graduates who are well- prepared to achieve these PEOs.
The PEOs and PLOs had been formulated in consultation with all major stakeholders (employers, alumni
and students), to meet the demands of a challenging and globalized workplace. Any material changes will
also require their views.
A critical component of OBE is the objective measurement of the outcomes. This is done via multiple
channels and methods. At the course level, there is formative assessment via discussion, assignment,
quizzes etc., in addition to the summative assessment in the final examination. Students also have the
opportunity to provide feedback through course evaluation, meetings with their academic advisors,
annual surveys, and student-lecturer meetings. Opinions and feedback from external parties, e.g.
employers, alumni, Industrial Advisory Panel, are also routinely sought to further calibrate the outcome
measurements.
Based on the input and trends received, the Department will take the necessary corrective actions, and
