Biomedical engineering (BME) applies quantitative engineering analysis and design to biological and medical problems. BME reveals basic knowledge of disease mechanisms to improve human health and develops new technologies and therapies to improve the quality of life. Examples include designing stroke rehabilitation equipment, developing drug delivery methods for cancer, modeling HIV disease processes, engineering cardiovascular tissue models, researching the progression of osteoarthritis, and more!
Our undergraduate program trains students to bridge the gaps between engineering, medicine, and biomedical research. We provide a design-focused curriculum that couples a broad foundation in chemical, mechanical, materials science and electrical engineering principles with opportunities to develop depth and tailor the curriculum to students’ career goals and interests. We prepare students for professional employment in biomedical industries and entry into advanced studies, including graduate school, medical school, and other health-related professions.
Our faculty make our department truly special. Several of our professors have been recognized by professional societies as among the best researchers and educators in the country. Undergraduate students have opportunities to do research in nanomedicine, biomechanics, neuroengineering, tissue engineering and more, enriching their coursework.
