Biomedical Engineering Overview

The Department of Biomedical Engineering offers a BS in Biomedical Engineering. Biomedical engineers combine the problem-solving ability of engineers with the knowledge of biological and medical sciences to develop innovative solutions that enhance human health, healthcare, and overall quality of life. Biomedical engineers contribute to research and development, product design, manufacturing, operations, and technical services, as well as engage in consulting, sales and marketing, education, and environmental problem-solving, driving innovation and advancing healthcare across diverse industries and academic institutions. This undergraduate program equips students with the knowledge and training necessary for successful careers in biomedical engineering and serves as a strong foundation for graduate study. The curriculum emphasizes key areas such as Molecular, Cellular, and Tissue Engineering; Biomedical Devices and Instrumentation; Medical Imaging; Artificial Intelligence and Computational Modeling, while also allowing students to develop expertise in specialized fields through technical electives. The department brings together faculty members from many disciplines to provide a comprehensive education that prepares graduates for success in the field.

The Biomedical Engineering BS program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET.

The curriculum is designed to meet several educational objectives. These program education objectives (PEOs) are broad statements that describe the expected accomplishments of graduates within a few years after graduation. Specific PEOs for Biomedical Engineering are:

• Graduates will use their scientific, technical, and communication skills to contribute to the achievement of the goals and objectives of employers of biomedical engineers.
• Graduates will continue their professional development in biomedical engineering or medicine, including professional licensure, continuing education, and/or graduate study.

Academic Advising

Students obtain academic advice and guidance from the academic advisors in the SEAS Office of Undergraduate Education (410 Bonner Hall) and from faculty advisors in their program of study. The SEAS Office of Undergraduate Education advises all students throughout their first two years of study. In the junior and senior years, students seek advisement primarily from departmental faculty advisors.
