Biomedical Engineering Program Description
The Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Biomedical Engineering will consist of core engineering courses, supportive science and math courses, and major electives, in addition to the general education courses. The program consists of two tracks: (1) <br>Biomechanics and Tissue Engineering track and (2) Bioelectric and Bio- computational Engineering track. This curriculum is designed to offer both a core understanding of traditional engineering disciplines, and an in-depth knowledge of the body. Our courses emphasize experimental and analytical coursework to gain a strong understanding of medical technology and complex living systems.
