The B.S. in biomedical engineering will equip students with the competence and job skills needed to design, develop, and operate biomedical systems and devices in the healthcare industry. These technologies include medical equipment and instruments, devices, systems, materials, firmware, and software used in the ever-growing healthcare industry.
As a profession, biomedical engineering demands the individual to work with others in supporting disciplines to achieve common goals. Design is central to the biomedical engineering profession and is integrated throughout the curriculum. The work of biomedical engineers spans many professional careers, providing opportunities in research and development, quality assurance, as well as system and software design. The student is encouraged to approach central technical issues with increased awareness of logistical, ethical, and social implications. Respect for the safety of persons and property is integral to the biomedical engineering curriculum.
