The Major
The department offers an undergraduate degree program that lead to a B.S. in Biomedical Engineering. The educational objectives of the curricula are to develop engineers who think critically, creatively, and rigorously; who employ engineering methods to identify and solve important problems in healthcare, industry, business, government, and academe; who communicate effectively and function cooperatively in professional contexts; who approach professional practice responsibly and ethically and with an awareness of business, environmental, safety, cultural, societal, and global concerns; who demonstrate professional leadership; and who employ their engineering education as a foundation for advanced study, life-long learning, and career development in engineering, management, and other professional fields. Admission to the Major College of Engineering students are eligible to be admitted to the Biomedical Engineering major if they have cumulative and most recent semester GPAs of 2.0 or higher and have completed with grades of C or better: MATH 131; MATH 132; ENGIN 114 (or ENGIN 100, 110, 111, 112, or 113); ECE 122 or CS 121; PHYSICS 151; CHEM 111 or PHYSICS 152; and ENGLWRIT 112. Students not yet admitted to BME major must be granted permission by the department to enroll in BME courses. Requirements No course taken on a Pass/Fail basis may be applied to General Education, major or PR-ENGIN requirements.
