【Announcement】醫環系更名公開說明會前問卷調查暨會議 /Pre-Meeting Survey and Briefing on the Department of Biomedical Engineering & Environmental Sciences Name Change
Dear All,
Our department proposed renaming itself to the “Department of Biomedical Engineering” in February 2023. However, because the College of Engineering had already established an “Institute of Biomedical Engineering”, an internal university coordination was conducted. As a result, our department submitted a name change application to the Ministry of Education in January 2025 under the adjusted name “Department of Biomedical Science and Engineering”. Unfortunately, the review result was ”Put on Hold”.
To facilitate the successful renaming of our department, the university is currently restructuring its internal biomedical engineering units. As part of this effort, the “Institute of Biomedical Engineering” under the College of Engineering has already initiated the application process to be adjusted to the “Institute of Biomaterials Engineering”. Backed by a strong university-wide consensus, our department will restart the application process to officially become the “Department of Biomedical Engineering”. This change will not only more accurately reflect our professional scope, but also align with the naming trends of biomedical engineering departments both domestically and internationally, which will greatly benefit the long-term development of our department.
BMES will hold a “Department Rename Meeting” on April 8, 2026 (Wed) from 5:00-6:00 PM by both in-person and virtually. At the meeting, we will exchange opinions and clarify doubts, and your questions and comments are welcome.
Your opinion is very important to the development of our department. Please be sure to fill out the following questionnaire carefully. To avoid repeated statistics, this form can only be filled out once. Please complete by April 1 (Wed). Thank you for your cooperation and support!
