Program description
Five pathways in the Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering give depth in a conventional engineering subject and breadth in biomedical engineering knowledge and applications. These five tracks support biomedical engineering and prepare students for one of five regular engineering degrees offered by partner engineering departments:
- B.S. in Biomedical Engineering combined with a B.S. in Chemical and Biological Engineering
- B.S. in Biomedical Engineering combined with a B.S. in Computer Engineering
- B.S. in Biomedical Engineering combined with a B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Electrical Engineering Concentration
- B.S. in Biomedical Engineering combined with a B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Laser and Optical Concentration
- B.S. in Biomedical Engineering combined with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering
In the first two years, students learn biomedical engineering and math, physics, and engineering basics. The third and fourth years cement traditional engineering knowledge while strengthening biomedical engineering, life, and physical sciences. Students learn more about biomedical engineering in the following years and complete a Senior Design project in the fifth year with an interdisciplinary team. This unique program's blend of practical application and intellectual rigor enhances its breadth and depth and prepares graduates for careers in business, academia, and research.
