Engineering plays a key role in Biomedical Sciences (BMS). The 2 fields are complementary, as core technologies from different Engineering disciplines are applied in several BMS areas. In fact, BMS has led Engineering to evolve further into areas such as Biomedical Imaging, Biomedical Instrumentation, and Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering, which can be broadly classified under the spectrum of “Bioengineering”. A Bioengineer applies fundamental principles and methods of Engineering to address problems in medical and life sciences. Although the main Bioengineering endeavour is based on Engineering disciplines, a Bioengineer also needs a good background in biological and medical sciences.

How did Bioengineering evolve?The recent progress made in molecular biological sciences has greatly advanced the fields of genetics, molecular and cell biology. These achievements have opened up new Engineering approaches to develop new technologies and to solve biomedical problems, with the ultimate aim of diagnosing and curing diseases and advancing healthcare.

Broad Coverage of Areas and Applications in Bioengineering•Biosignal Processing (e.g. electrocardiaography to detect irregular heartbeats)•Biomedical Instrumentation (e.g. pacemaker to regulate heart frequency by electrical stimulation)•Medical Imaging (e.g. ultra-sound 3D colour image to examine the health and position of an unborn foetus)•Tissue Engineering (e.g. artificial skin)•Biomaterials (e.g. bioactive bone substitute)•Biomechanics (e.g. quantitative diagnosis of injured limbs)•Artificial Organs (e.g. left ventricular assist devices)•Orthopaedic Implants (e.g. artificial hip joints)•Biochemical Processing (e.g. reactors using microbes to produce drugs)•Nanotechnology (e.g. developing nano-sized devices to help eradicate harmful tissues and cells)

Our teaching and training objectives are to:•Nurture a new generation of engineers by providing students with a strong foundation in mathematics, physical sciences, molecular and cell biology as well as in the fundamental principles and methods of engineering.•Cultivate the entrepreneurship spirit among students by creating opportunities for students to innovate new technologies and develop solutions for biomedical problems, with the ultimate aim of advancing healthcare through better disease prevention, diagnosis and treatment.• Inculcate social responsibility with an appreciation of ethics in bioengineering and obligation as professional bioengineers to society.

Bioengineering is a fusion between the various disciplines of Engineering and Biomedical Sciences.

The SCBE Club was first established in 2004,

underpinned by fundamental ideals in supporting a cohesive community for the

SCBE family. As of AY2014/15, the SCBE Club sees its 10th Management Committee.

SCBE may be young compared to other schools in NTU, but my experience here thus far has been wholesome and enjoyable. Being involved in the SCBE Club since my first year has made me realise that university isn’t all about grades. While results are definitely important, I believe learning is not only restricted to classroom lessons; it goes beyond. In SCBE Club, I am offered the chance to learn through my service to the school and students. From planning to organising, and finally to executing events that cater to the welfare of the school population, these are experiences that I will never be able to get in classes, and I value these learning opportunities. Being in the club has taught me many things which have helped me grow as a person.

SCBE is new and dynamic, and has proven to deliver quality education. Join us at SCBE today if you have a passion for Chemical Engineering or Bioengineering!

our aluMniI graduated from NTU with a double degree in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering and Economics. In August 2008, when I stepped into university as a freshman, I told myself, “I will make the most of the next 5 years and live a holistic experience.” Looking back, these five years constituted of some of the most incredible experiences in my life.

I wanted to learn as much as possible. With this mindset, the extensive resources available and with my proactive course-mates, I linked up key concepts, built meaningful relationships and excelled in my studies. I treasured every lecture, tutorial, group discussion and presentation because I came to realise that such knowledge and exposure would be a powerful leverage for me in future. Having an eagerness to learn made learning truly enjoyable and rewarding.

My most memorable project was the notoriously tough “FYDP”. Indeed, we, a group of 7, spent months on it, from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily in the computer lab. At times, we even stayed overnight. Once, we broke endurance records by working non-stop for 30 hours. Tough? Yes. Rewarding? Definitely. Through this project, we traversed from strangers to friends, friends to best friends. These treasured bonds would not have been possible without the intensive courses in NTU.

I also wanted international experiences. Having lived in Singapore since birth, it is my dream to experience life abroad, even for just a while. Thanks to NTU’s INSTEP, a student exchange programme, and AIESEC, an international student organization, I had the good fortune to travel on two life-changing international exchanges. One as an exchange student to Arizona State University. Upon landing in Arizona

and feeling the full blast of 43 °C desert heat, I knew that it would be a new world to discover. True enough, life was slower, food was deliciously American, Mexican and Mediterranean, people were warm and I found joy in speaking to strangers and getting to know them.

Another trip was to Beijing’s Shaliwen Rehabilitation Centre as a volunteer in the school for hearing-impaired children. It was where life was simpler with limited telecom access and predominantly face-to-face human interactions. I finally understood why people said, “go out there and see the world.” International exposure has been eye-opening. Till today, they still are my inspirations.

In a nutshell, my university education in NTU was a process of discovery. Not only did I learn academically about both chemical engineering and economics, I made lifelong friends and even found my life partner. I could create a multitude of experiences for myself and for those around me. Today, even as I begin my next phase of life as quality assurance validation coordinator at GSK, I will always remember the times, the lessons and the friendships forged at NTU. For my juniors who may be reading this, enjoy every moment to the fullest and pursue what you love. Success comes with passion, effort and a bit of luck. With that, I end with a big thank you to the university that has given me so much – NTU.

Teo Zi YongBioengineeringClass of 2012

Greetings future SCBE-ians! My name is Zi Yong and as an alumnus from the Bioengineering Class of 2012, I would like to share my views on how education in NTU has helped prepare me for the workplace and why SCBE holds a special place in my heart.

NTU provides a holistic education for her students with the wide-ranging and interesting elective choices available, from language classes to art appreciation and sports; choices aimed at pushing students to step out of their comfort zone and expand their minds. Speaking from experience as the first batch to take up the Biodesign core module in Year 4, SCBE is also constantly reviewing the syllabus to stay relevant and evolve with the needs of the industry. I am grateful that this module provided a snippet of project management skills which has empowered me to lead projects in the company. Besides focusing on technical development of its students, NTU also looks to develop life skills through communications modules that help to hone presentation and interpersonal skills. I believe these are fundamental skills that I utilize on a daily basis in the workplace.

The huge diversity in NTU’s student population also means that it is a melting pot for cross-cultural interactions. Whether it is the quirky antics you share with the exchange students or the serious exchanges during group assignments, being able to understand a different culture expanded my horizon of the world and has prepared me to work with talents from around the world.

Although academic pursuits took up most of my time in SCBE, it must be surprising that the single most enriching and memorable experience I had in SCBE was being involved in the main committee of the freshmen orientation camp (FOC), Nueve. Being a student leader and serving as a Group Leader and Co-chairperson in bringing fun and helping freshmen assimilate into University life has added colours to my life in SCBE. I have made close friends from spending almost one year together to plan for each of the 2 FOCs but most importantly, I learnt to appreciate the people in my team while enjoying the process. This experience is something I hold close to my heart.

A parting phrase to the future SCBE-ians, no matter what you do, remember this: “The process of getting to the end is the most rewarding, the success you achieve is a bonus; made sweeter if you enjoyed the process.”
