Biomedical Engineering B.S.

Curriculum

curriculum sheets/advising BME course descriptions

Students in the B.S. program progress through a structured core that includes biomedical instrumentation, systems and signals, biomechanics, computing, and engineering design, culminating in a year-long capstone experience that emphasizes real-world problem solving and interdisciplinary collaboration. This shared core curriculum ensures that all graduates develop strong analytical skills, technical depth, and practical experience.

Tracks

Beyond the core curriculum, all students specialize via one of three focused tracks:

Bioinstrumentation and Neural Engineering Track

Learn to design and evaluate advanced medical devices that interface with biological and neural systems.

Biomechanics and Prosthetics Track

Apply engineering principles to analyze human movement and physiology, and design assistive and rehabilitative technologies.

Biomedical Artificial Intelligence (AI) Track

Apply computational and data-driven methods to solve complex problems in healthcare, diagnostics, and biomedical research.
