The Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering launched in Fall 2024 and requires 134 credits. As one of the most interdisciplinary degrees on campus, students will develop a base in a variety of areas including biology, chemistry, physics, computer science, human anatomy and physiology, all in parallel to their engineering courses. The fundamentals are enhanced with exposure to important engineering tools such as: mathematical techniques; computer programming; computer applications including computer aided design (CAD), electronics, and laboratory equipment. All students engage in design courses beginning in their Freshman year leading to a culminating two-semester capstone design experience in the Senior year. The capstone experience typically entails requiring student design teams, led jointly by faculty and practicing engineers, to solve real industrial design problems. Finally, the degree requirements also include the opportunity for breadth as well as concentration in particular engineering applications through a group of technical electives taken in the senior year.
