The Department of Biomedical Engineering provides a curriculum culminating in a Bachelor of Science degree in biomedical engineering. This single degree program offers three specialized tracks: Biocomputing, Bioelectronics, and Biomechanics. Innovations such as robotic eye surgery systems, implantable defibrillators, artificial organs and tissues, prosthetic devices, and protective bicycle helmets exemplify the field's impact. These advancements, created by biomedical engineering professionals, contribute to enhanced longevity and improved living standards. Through the application of engineering principles to medical and biological challenges, biomedical engineering strives to elevate human well-being. Marquette University offers these three biomedical engineering specializations. During your senior year, you'll participate in a capstone design project, collaborating with peers to address genuine biomedical issues. You can pursue two degrees within five years via Marquette's distinctive combined bachelor's and master's program, or follow the path of 15% of our graduates who enter medical school.
The biomechanics concentration delivers comprehensive mechanical engineering education within an interdisciplinary curriculum structure. This encompasses coursework in materials science, metallurgy, thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, transport phenomena, and design principles. The program, which also incorporates electrical circuits and computer courses, supports specialized interests in biomechanics and biomaterials. The senior year features intensive biomedical instrumentation design and computer laboratories focused on contemporary experimental applications. Furthermore, the capstone design course places students on cross-disciplinary teams to solve authentic industrial design challenges.
