Biomedical Engineering

Curriculum Information

Program Educational Objectives

Within a few years of graduation, our alumni will:

  1. Successfully advance in their careers in biomedical and related industries and research or further education in graduate or professional schools.
  2. Make significant contributions to problem solving, discovery, and innovation within engineering and medicine for the benefit of humanity.
  3. Provide leadership and valued service to biomedical engineering and related fields.

Student Outcomes

Currently, we use the outcomes which are the standard ABET Engineering Accreditation Commission required outcomes for engineering programs:

  1. an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics;
  2. an ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors;
  3. an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences;
  4. an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts;
  5. an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives;
  6. an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions;
  7. an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies
  8. an understanding of biology and physiology
  9. an ability to apply advanced mathematics (including differential equations and statistics), science, and engineering to solve the problems at the interface of engineering and biology
  10. an ability to make measurements on and interpret data from living systems, addressing the problems associated with the interaction between living and non-living materials and systems.
