Biomedical Engineering

Program Overview

Biomedical engineering is at the intersection of engineering, the life sciences and healthcare. Biomedical engineers take principles from applied science and apply them to biology and medicine. The goal is to better understand, replace or fix a target system to ultimately improve the quality of healthcare. Applications include the development of biocompatible prostheses, diagnostic and therapeutic medical devices, advanced imaging methods such as MRIs and EEGs, as well as development of regenerative materials, engineered tissues and artificial organs.
