In biomedical engineering, students collaborate with faculty to build cross-disciplinary expertise and create clinically applicable solutions for human health—ranging from designing artificial organs and injury recovery devices to developing advanced detection systems and improved medical imaging technologies. Texas Engineering graduates have pursued careers in academic settings and across various sectors of health care and biotechnology. The Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering (BSBME) is an undergraduate program that merges engineering methods with biological sciences. Graduates of this program become engineers equipped with the essential training to tackle the most challenging issues in medicine.
The most effective solutions to medical challenges emerge from teams with diverse technical viewpoints. Biomedical engineering is an interdisciplinary field that integrates elements of chemical, mechanical, and electrical engineering with human physiology to address health care problems. We provide a foundational interdisciplinary undergraduate curriculum that includes engineering and science basics, biomaterials, physiology, instrumentation, biomechanics, engineering design, and additional topics.
The primary goal of this field is to equip students with an understanding of biological system structure and function using mechanical principles. Students will acquire skills to apply engineering concepts to analyze how living systems operate at all organizational levels and to use this knowledge in designing devices and procedures that enhance diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in health care.
