Biomedical Engineering B.S.

Overview

The B.S. in Biomedical Engineering is built on a rigorous foundation in mathematics, physics, life sciences, and core engineering principles, combined with hands-on laboratory and design experiences. The program prepares you to design, evaluate, and translate technologies that improve human health while maintaining strong awareness of ethics, safety, and regulatory considerations. Our students also have opportunities to gain hands-on experience and training in research labs led by our nationally and internationally renowned faculty.

B.S. students build a strong engineering foundation before specializing in one of three tracks – bioinstrumentation and neural engineering, biomechanics and prosthetics, or biomedical AI – tackling challenges from decoding biosignals to restoring movement and advancing intelligent healthcare systems. With seamless pathways into M.S. and Ph.D. programs in Electrical Engineering, students engage in cutting-edge research in wearable biosensing, neurorobotics, and brain-computer interfacing, graduating ready to lead at the forefront of medicine, technology, and discovery.

Careers

Biomedical engineers work in:

• The medical instrument industry – where they invent, design, manufacture, sell, and service medical equipment
• Hospitals – where they evaluate, select, maintain, and provide training for the use of complex medical equipment
• Medical and biological research institutes – where they use unique analytical ability and instrumentation skills to conduct advanced research
