Biomedical Engineering Master of Science Degree Program

Goals and Concentration Tracks

The goal of the program is to prepare students for bioengineering careers requiring skills in research, development, and teaching in a variety of settings in industry, in hospitals, in research facilities of educational and medical institutions and in government regulatory agencies. Internships are aimed to further prepare students for careers in the bioengineering industry.

The program includes coursework and research in medical imaging, biosensors, physiological control systems, biomedical signal processing, biomedical instrumentation, rehabilitation, orthopedics, biomechanics, biomaterials and tissue engineering, cell and molecular engineering and neurosciences. Specifically, during the first year of their studies, students in the doctoral program must select one of the concentration tracks:

1. Bioinstrumentation
2. Biomaterials/Tissue Engineering
3. Biomechanics
4. Medical Imaging
5. Nanomedicine
6. Nanotechnology
7. Protein Engineering
