Abstract
Along with advancement in medical technologies, the academic field of Biomedical Engineering (BME) was developed. BME which was once considered as a subdivision of other disciplines, has gradually become an independent discipline with established departments. The extended medical and biological applications of the new discipline resulted in itsrapid progress. It is essential for academic centers to examine novel education and research areas of biomedical engineering every few years. In this paper we presented educational and research status of biomedical engineering among world's 50 top universities from different continents. We used three world university rankings (Time, QS, CWUR) to select top universities in 2016. Overally we studied 17 universities from America, 19 universities from Europe and 14 universities from Asia and Oceania. The undergraduate and postgraduate educational programs were presented and the independency status of biomedical engineering departments were studied using four models and results were compared among universities from different continents. The foundation year and number of academic staff of BME departmentswere further shown.Moreover, the BME researchfiledswere shown and compared among top universities from different contients and the most prevalent research areas were presented.
