At the undergraduate level, we direct our efforts toward two educational objectives that describe the performance of alumni 3-6 years after graduation.

  • Our graduates will successfully enter and complete post-baccalaureate advanced degree programs, including those in biomedical engineering.
  • Our graduates will obtain jobs in the biomedical arena and advance to positions of greater responsibility.
  • As preparation for achieving the above educational objectives, the BS degree program in Biomedical Engineering is designed so that students attain:

    • An ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering appropriate to the biomedical engineering
    • An ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data
    • An ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability
    • An ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams
    • An ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems
    • An understanding of professional and ethical responsibility
