What is Biomedical Engineering?
Biomedical engineering integrates physical, chemical, mathematical, and computational sciences and engineering principles to study biology, medicine, behavior, and health. It advances fundamental concepts; creates knowledge from the molecular to the organ systems level; and develops innovative biologics, materials, processes, implants, devices and informatics approaches for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of disease, for patient rehabilitation, and for improving health.

Educational Objectives of the BME Undergraduate Program
We expect that a few years after graduation, our students will be on track to become leaders in corporate, professional, and academic communities. In particular,
they will:
I. Advance in their careers in biomedical engineering or related area
of industry, academia, and medicine.
II. Engage in life-long learning, for example, by enrolling in graduate or professional degree programs or receiving advanced training for professional advancement.
III. Utilize their engineering experience in creating new knowledge or enabling technologies for human health and health care.
IV. Understand the social and ethical implications of their work.
