1. Students will be prepared to enter graduate (MS or PhD Degree Programs) or professional schools (Medical, Dental, Veterinarian, Business, Public Health, Law).
2. Students will be prepared to enter industrial careers in biomedical engineering or a related engineering field.
Upon completion of the B.S. in Biomedical Engineering, students will demonstrate the ability to:
1. apply fundamental knowledge of mathematics, physical sciences, biology, physiology and engineering for the solution of problems at the interface of engineering and biology; the ability to make measurements on and interpret data from living systems, addressing the problems associated with the interaction between living and non-living materials and systems.
• an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering (a)
• an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data (b)
• an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems (e)
• an ability to use the techniques, skills and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice (k)
2. use effective communication skills, work within multidisciplinary teams and have an awareness of professional and ethical responsibilities to have a positive impact on the global society
• an ability to function on multidisciplinary teams (d)
• an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility (f)
• an ability to communicate effectively (g)
• the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context (h)
• a knowledge of contemporary issues (j)
3. recognize the importance of lifelong learning in order to expand knowledge
• a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning (i)
4. participate in creative, synthetic, integrative activities of design courses and independent projects
• an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such a economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability (c)
• an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems (e)
When Jerry Prince first studied medical imaging as an undergraduate, his work focused on ultrasound images—"essentially 2-D pictures," he explains. "We were trying to identify characteristics of cancer tumors by looking for meaningful patterns of reflections."
