CS & Medical Engineering
Program Overview
The new B. Tech program in Computer Science & Medical Engineering (CS&ME) at Dayananda Sagar University, under the School of Engineering integrates Engineering and Medical Sciences, aligning with India's vision of "Make in India for the World" in MedTech.
The Computer Science & Medical Engineering program merges Engineering, Healthcare, and Technology, offering an innovative inter-disciplinary approach that bridges Engineering principles with Medicine.
Collaboration
The School of Engineering, DSU is working with five leading institutes and industries - Indian Institute of Science (IISc), National Institute of Mental Health and Neuro-Sciences (NIMHANS), Chandramma Dayananda Sagar Institute of Medical Education and Research (CDSIMER), GE Healthcare, and Philips - to lead the CSME program. This collaboration aims to redefine healthcare through advanced interdisciplinary studies, linking academia, industry, and government bodies. The goal is to ensure that research translates into practical solutions.
Objectives
