Biomedical Engineering

I'm Professor Betül Taşdelen. Head of the Tekirdağ Namık Kemal University, Corlu Faculty of Engineering, Department of Biomedical Engineering. Department of Biomedical Engineering started to provide education in the 2009-2010 academic year. In the 2020-2021 academic year, it continues providing education with a quota of 72 students. There are two main branches of our depatment: the Biomaterials and Biomedical Electronics branches. Department of Biomedical Engineering is one of the newly established engineering branches. It is an engineering branch that aims to bridge the gap between engineering sciences and health sciences. The courses we offer in the first year are Fundamental Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics courses. In the following years, our students take vocational and elective courses. In addition, our students take vocational courses such as Electronics 1, Electronics 2, Electrical Circuits, Biomaterials, and Human Physiology. We have 2 laboratories: one is the Biomaterials and the other is the Biomedical electronics laboratory. In addition, our students benefit from the Application and Research Hospitals laboratories on certain days of the week with the protocol we have established with the Health and Application Research Hospital of our university. The internship period consists of 60 days for our students. From the third grade, we encourage our students to apply for project 2209-A at TUBİTAK. In this sense, after providing project courses, our students make project applications and many of them receive scholarships by TUBITAK. In addition, we provide opportunities for our students to carry out the graduation projects they have decided on within the framework of the "Internal Education Program with the Sector" implemented in our faculty. Our students benefit from Erasmus internship and learning mobility. Every year, 2 to 3 students benefit from the Erasmus program in different countries. Students can find jobs in the production and service sectors after graduation. Especially in the places focusing on biomaterials, medical device, production, R&D, calibration, maintenance, and repair services. They can work in in public and private sector hospitals. Our students have been organizing student symposiums with our faculty members every year since the last 8 years thanks to the Biomedical Technologies Club they have established. In these student symposiums, our professors from the biomedical field give speeches, and at the same time, representatives of the medical sector talk about their experiences to the students. I’d like to say this to the candidates who will choose our department. I can say that there is a big deficit in the health sector, especially in the production of biomaterials and medical equipment. By providing the production of these valuable biomaterials, we hope that they support us in reducing our country's dependence on foreign trade and receive education in this field. Our university provides many opportunities for students. I think the most important of these benefits is that we have a great academic staff, who are all involved in the field. I think that students will have the opportunity to get to know the current technologies in the relevant field and develop them by taking advantage of the theoretical and applied courses given by this staff. I wish success to students who will choose Tekirdağ Namık Kemal University, Çorlu Faculty of Engineering, Department of Biomedical Engineering.
