• University of Connecticut, Biomedical Engineering blends traditional engineering techniques with biological sciences and medicine to improve the quality of human health and life.
  • The discipline focuses both on understanding complex living systems – via experimental and analytical techniques – and on the development of devices, methods, and algorithms that advance medical and biological knowledge while improving the effectiveness and delivery of clinical medicine.
  • Biomedical engineers may work in hospitals, universities, industries, and laboratories.
  • They enjoy a range of possible duties, including the design and development of artificial organs, modeling of physical processes, development of blood sensors and other physiologic sensors, design of therapeutic strategies and devices for injury recovery, development and refinement of imaging techniques and equipment, development of advanced detection systems, testing of product performance, and optimal lab design.
