Biomedical engineering is a diverse, cross-disciplinary area that utilizes engineering principles to address challenges in biology, medicine, and biotechnology. This involves creating and evaluating systems for physiological measurement and diagnosis, along with quantitative research and experiments aimed at better understanding both typical and atypical functions of the human body.
The bachelor's degree curriculum offers students comprehensive and demanding education in engineering, math, and fundamental sciences. It features a strong interdisciplinary approach that merges the quantitative elements of engineering analysis and design with various aspects of biology and physiology, spanning from molecular and cellular levels to entire systems and organisms. The program emphasizes equipping students with the abilities needed to address issues influencing diverse economic, environmental, ethical, legal, and social concerns. Nearly all prerequisites for medical school can be fulfilled through this course of study. Our alumni are thoroughly prepared for various careers across engineering, science, healthcare, and business sectors, as well as for further education in engineering, science, medicine, business, law, or other health-related fields.
Educational Objectives
Graduates of the Biomedical Engineering Bachelor of Science program will possess:
The capability to recognize, define, and resolve intricate engineering challenges using engineering, scientific, and mathematical principles.
The skill to implement engineering design to develop solutions that fulfill specific requirements while accounting for public health, safety, and welfare, alongside global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic considerations.
