Master's in Biomedical Engineering

The Curriculum

The MSE - Biomedical Engineering curriculum consists of the following:

  • Foundation courses in human physiology to help students effectively communicate with health care professionals and apply advanced technological solutions to clinical problems;
  • Engineering courses that apply engineering principles to problems in medicine and health;
  • Medical device design and development courses to evaluate, design, and construct medical products;
  • Research opportunities employing the methods for effectively translating ideas from concept to bedside.
