Degree description
Biomedical engineering applies principles of engineering to the study and resolution of problems in biology and medicine.
The BSE in biomedical engineering prepares high-quality graduates with a broad-based education in biomedical engineering that positions them for productive employment, graduate study or professional programs, especially in human and animal medicine, biotechnology and related biology-based engineering fields; for continued development of technical knowledge, awareness and leadership abilities so graduates may address domestic or global issues in human health; and for preparation to ethically and responsibly contribute to society by drawing from an integrated, transdisciplinary biomedical engineering education that focuses on sustainability and environmentalism.
Graduates are able to apply their skills in an ethical, sustainable and environmentally responsible manner to make contributions that address societal and individual needs.
