Bachelor of Science in Biomedizinischer Technik

Biomedical Engineering

Biomedical Engineering combines the study of fundamental biological and physiological processes and engineering to tackle health care challenges such as paralysis, muscular degeneration and traumatic brain injury, as well as an understanding of brain connectivity.

B.S. Biomedical Engineering

Biomedical Engineering (BME) is an interdisciplinary program that emphasizes cooperative research with industry, rehabilitation institutes and medical centers in the region and leads to careers in biotechnology, medicine, rehabilitation and medical device development. Students applying to medical or dental school after graduation may earn an accelerated B.S. degree in three years.

Program Objectives

The BME program prepares students for productive careers related broadly to biomedical engineering. It is anticipated that BME graduates will embark upon diverse career paths: serve the medical device, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology industries, and use their education in a variety of related endeavors including medicine, dentistry, law, business, government, and other engineering and scientific fields.

While working within their selected career path, we expect that our alumni will demonstrate the following traits:

• BME alumni are integrators and we expect our graduates to integrate their fundamental knowledge of sciences, mathematics, liberal arts, and engineering analysis into actions that address and solve a wide range of problems, especially those related to medicine and biology.
• BME alumni continue their professional growth, and we expect our graduates to advance their skills through professional growth and development opportunities provided by participation in a professional society, continuing education, or graduate study in engineering or other professional fields.
• BME alumni are engaged in service, and we expect our graduates to engage in service to their chosen professional societies as well as their local, national or global communities.
