 Biomedical Engineering, also known as Bioengineering or Medical Engineering, is the application of engineering principles to study and develop biomedical solutions to aid in the medical care of patients.
Medical systems engineering is a cross-disciplinary function that incorporates the disciplines of electrical, chemical, and mechanical engineering. Examples of biomedical products include: hip replacements, pacemakers, medical imaging, life support systems and medical lasers.
Specialized Studies Requirements
Candidates must possess a fundamental understanding of anatomy and physiology through Anatomy and Physiology for Clinical Studies, BME X405; OR possess equivalent experience or education.
