Biomedical Engineering
Fundamentals
Biomedical Engineering is a highly interdisciplinary field of engineering which integrates engineering principles with math, physical and biological sciences. Biomedical Engineers design, develop, manage, and regulate medical devices and technologies, and work closely alongside healthcare professionals and other engineers. Our students are prepared to embark on careers in medical device and technology companies, engineering firms, research, and professional health sciences.
Students graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering.
Our faculty
- partner with local healthcare systems for on-site learning opportunities
- conduct research funded by National Institutes of Health, National Science Foundation, Department of Defense, and industry
- bring industry experiences to the classroom
