Biomedical engineering is offered as
a concentration within the professional science master's program described
under Business and Science 137. The goal of the biomedical engineering
concentration is to train the next generation of investigators and
practitioners who will be capable of developing new scientific approaches,
strategies, and novel diagnostic and therapeutic tools for the health care of
tomorrow. The following areas of study are available: molecular, cellular, nanosystems bioengineering, biomaterials and tissue engineering,
biomechanics and rehabilitation engineering, physiologic systems and
bioinstrumentation, computational bioengineering, and biomedical imaging. The biomedical engineering (BME) concentration requirements include: one BME core
course, one physiology course (for students that do not have an undergraduate
course), one advanced engineering mathematics course, one molecular biology course,
and technical professional courses (1-2 credits). The remaining courses can be
taken as electives.
