Universities in malaysia with Biomedical Engineering course

So far ,in a malaysia,
biomedical engieeering is still a new era,
but there are three university has it
one is government universtiy ,Universtiy Malaya,(UM)
The Biomedical Engineering degree course was initiated by UM in 1997 as a 4 year programme under the Dean's Department of the Faculty of Engineering with an initial intake of 21 students with SPM (British 'O' Level equivalent) qualifications. This 4 year programme was continued for 2 more intakes in 1998 and 1999. and so far ,the uM fees is also cheaper since it is sponsored by goverment,
for more information ,refer to

another one is UTAR,Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman,
as a universtity formed by one of Malaysia chinese organisation MCA,it is still under development,but compare to others private univesity,the school fees student need to pay is relatively less since it is also half sponsored by government.Biomedical engineering is the new course for this university.Under the Professor Goh Sing Yau suggestion,it has change specializations from Mechanical Engineering to Biomedical Engineering ,and it is supposed to approved by NUS and NTu ,so it has a bright future in singapore.\

for Univeriti Teknologi Malaysia ,its biomedical engineering course is just started,but since it is one of the top 300 university in Asia ,even better in engineering course than UM,we can hope that it is also one of the brightest star in local University in malaysia.It is sponsored by government so it has enough fund to take in more modern and nice instrument so it maybe is also a better choice than UM.

all in one,
biomedical engineering is one of the best investiment after economic tsunami in malaysia
and it can lead us to the 2020-become a mordenization country...
i believe it is a valuable course,not only for money,but also for our career.

gambateh for biomedical engineer,
the 21st century is belong to you

What should we act as biomedical engineer

"Medicine is learned by the beside and not in the classroom.Let not your conceptions at disease come from words heard in the lecture room or read from the books.See and then reason,and compare and control.But see first"
-william Osler
father of modern medicine...

as a biomedical engineer,we are also like study study medicine as above mentioned.
We should not always keep ourselves in the universtiy and dont care about the patient in the bedside.

As a engineer,we are born for design,yes,maybe you are right,but what we design for ?
a human,an organism,a life in the world,can we treat it as a non-bio?
surely,the answer is not.
then what is the role we need to play in this globarization world?
maybe you should take a look on wikipedia,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biomedical_engineering
but all it mentioned is on the surface,
beside the skin ,there are blood,organs,and minds,
what we can do is
try our best to hear what the patients need actually ,
not just invent a new machine but it charges high price on patient,it is unfair.As a responsible engineer,we should not only focus on the profit of the product,but also need to look into the effect of the product.As a biomedical engineer,it is going to become important and more important.

we are not god ,right,but at least we can try our best to make the world better.
maybe it will cost a reduction on the money we earn ,
but at least,
we do not have any regret when face our lives,our next generation ,our country and ourselves.

i will be glad if anyone leave comment to share your opinion to biomedical engineer ,i will always be there to listen your opinion ,to share your story ,to be your friend in biomedical fields
