Biomedical Engineering Major – Five-Year BS/MS Program
Significant components of the program are: Students must have an overall GPA of at least 3.4 to be admitted to the program..
Biomedical engineers differ from other engineering disciplines that have an influence on human health in that biomedical engineers use and apply an intimate knowledge of modern biological principles in their engineering design process..
Biomedical engineers focus on advances in technology and medicine to develop new devices and equipment for improving human health.
For example, they might design software to run medical equipment or computer simulations to test new drug therapies..
Types of Biomedical Engineering
The four major areas of biomedical engineering include clinical, medical device, medical imaging and tissue engineering: Clinical engineering deals with equipment used in hospitals and other medical facilities..
The BME minor requires a minimum of 18 credit hours.
All Biomedical Engineering minor courses must be taken for a letter grade; neither S/U nor credit/no credit is permitted.
Students who complete the BME minor are not eligible for the Bioengineering Undergraduate Certificate..
Bioengineers and biomedical engineers work in laboratory and clinical settings.
Bioengineers and biomedical engineers work on teams with scientists, healthcare workers, or other engineers.
Where and how they work depends on the project..
The goal of the minor program is to educate students in how to apply engineering fundamentals to solve problems in biology and medicine..

Prior research experience is not a requirement for application to the program.
All students who have taken an introductory course, including:
The minor in Biomedical Engineering requires a total of nine courses:
You need a primary degree ( Mechanical, Computer Science, Chemical, Electrical etc) and get the BioMed as a minor.
To do otherwise will certainly limit / impede your marketability and earning potential.
This is 100% true.
Your major absolutely must give you a place to ENTER your industry.
Hence, the minor in Biomedical Engineering is designed to provide a student with the introductory skills necessary to perform as an engineer in the biomedical arena.
