Education, 2015 The creation of a Biomedical Engineering Technology program for the 2020sAbstractMany biomedical engineering technology or similarly named programs were spawned in theearly 1970s. These programs, at the two-year college level, were a response to the demand fortechnicians to deal with the rapidly expanding base of medical equipment that was beingdeployed primarily in hospitals. Although there were many electronics engineering technologyprograms at the community college level, it was thought that the need for technicians skilled inthe medical equipment area would be more successfully satisfied through a specific program thattaught the fundamentals of electronics and then concentrated on
