Program Educational Objectives

The overall educational objective of our program is to develop effective practitioners in biomedical engineering and associated fields.  We expect that our graduates will contribute to the advancement of their chosen field, while remaining mindful of the ethical and social implications of their work.  They will confidently apply knowledge in the basic sciences, mathematics, engineering analysis, and design to address problems in medicine and biology. In keeping with the continuously evolving nature of the field of biomedical engineering, we expect that our alumni will effectively communicate, engage in lifelong learning, and that many of them, inspired by research experiences as undergraduates, will continue their education in advanced degree programs.

Student Outcomes
