Biomedical Engineering Minor
The Biomedical Engineering (BME) minor provides students with a foundation in applying engineering principles to medical and biological systems. Open to students in engineering, computer science, and life and health sciences, the minor includes coursework in biomedical engineering fundamentals, anatomy and physiology, and electives in areas such as biomechanics, neuroimaging, and medical instrumentation. This program enhances career opportunities in healthcare technology, medical devices, and research, while also preparing students for graduate study in biomedical engineering.
Learning Outcomes:
- Apply engineering and/or physiological principles to biomedical challenges.
- Apply quantitative reasoning and computational tools to interpret data relevant to biomedical applications.
