Biomedical engineering is an interdisciplinary area in which engineering techniques are applied to problem solving in the life sciences and medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biomedical engineers design medical instruments for diagnosis and the treatment of various diseases, as well as for research in biology. They also develop artificial organs for prosthesis and computer software and hardware systems to help provide high-quality, cost-effective health care. At URI, you will tackle 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, you’ll engage in cutting-edge research in wearable biosensing, neurorobotics, and brain-computer interfacing, and graduate ready to lead at the forefront of medicine, technology, and discovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
