专业描述

Biomedical engineering involves a synergistic combination of the techniques and practices of a number of disciplines (including mathematics, statistics, biology, chemistry, physics, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and computer science), brought together and focused toward the goal of creating more effective tools, applications, and treatments in areas such as regenerative medicine, tissue engineering, medical instrumentation and devices, patient aids, and robustly engineered medical practices. The department offers instruction leading to a bachelor of science in biomedical engineering (BSBME) for students in the School of Engineering. Furthermore, the department offers second major programs for engineering and liberal arts students. These programs are described in detail in the undergraduate handbook, and specific information on each of them can be found by following the links below. By careful selection of course work, students who follow these curricula can satisfy admission requirements for professional schools of medicine, dentistry, business, or law.
