Be Worlds Ahead
About Florida International UniversityFlorida International University is recognized by the Carnegie Foundation as a community
engaged university. Its colleges and schools offer more than 180 bachelor’s, master’s and
doctoral programs in fields such as engineering, international relations, architecture, law
and medicine. As one of South Florida’s anchor institutions, FIU is Worlds Ahead in its local
and global engagement, finding solutions to the most challenging problems of our time. FIU
emphasizes research as a major component of its mission. It has 160,000 alumni and enrolls
50,000 students on two campuses and three centers including FIU Downtown on Brickell and
the Miami Beach Urban Studios. FIU has an athletic program with more than 400 student-
athletes participating in 18 sports. For more information about FIU, visit fiu.edu
About the College of Engineering & Computing
Florida International University’s College of Engineering & Computing is South Florida’s
leading engineering education resource. The college offers a complete range of fully
accredited engineering baccalaureate, master’s and doctoral degree programs in biomedical,
civil and environmental, electrical and computer, and mechanical and materials engineering;
construction management; and computing and information sciences. With close to $20
million of external funding, research is an integral part of the college’s mission and its
success. The college is committed to diversity, and is the largest producer of Hispanic
engineers, and one of the top producers of African-American engineers and females with
doctoral degrees in engineering. For more information about the FIU College of Engineering &

About the Department
FIU’s Department of Biomedical Engineering is a nationally recognized resource for biomedical
engineering education, training and research in Florida, and is a model for servicing the needs
of the clinical medicine and the biomedical industries through workforce and technology
development.
As a part of the College of Engineering & Computing, students enjoy experiential learning
opportunities and close interaction with WorldsAhead faculty. Through internship opportunities
in the industry and hands-on research activities in cutting-edge laboratories, graduates are
prepared to hit the ground running in their chosen careers.
Research
Department of Biomedical Engineering
Bachelor of Science in Biomedical EngineeringThe undergraduate program produces graduates that continue in advanced study in
engineering, medicine or the sciences and/or professional practice as a biomedical
engineer in industry. Students are trained to demonstrate proficiency in one or more of the
following areas: clinical application of biomedical engineering tools; product development;
manufacturing; commercialization in the biomedical industry; participation in diverse
teams; and biomedical research.
Accelerated BS/MS Degree ProgramThis program provides academically talented students an opportunity to complete a
bachelor’s and a master’s degree in a shorter period of time. The combined-degree
program reduces the cost of both degrees and enhances your marketability for career
advancement. By enrolling in a combined bachelor’s and master’s program you can earn
your master’s degree earlier while participating in research and taking courses not usually
available to undergraduates.
Master of Science in Biomedical EngineeringThis program provides students and practicing engineers with the theoretical and practical
experience needed to succeed in this field, offering a professional curriculum track, as
well as a research-oriented track. The professional track is tailored for engineers currently
practicing in the biomedical industry and students interested in pursuing a management
career in biomedical industry. The research track prepares the graduate for further
graduate study or a career in biomedical research.
Ph.D. in Biomedical EngineeringThis program develops highly trained professionals at the Ph.D. level to serve in academic
institutions, government agencies and professional research laboratories, as well as
manufacturing and service industries. Students gain valuable exposure to clinical practice
and research, and acquire real experience in product development and commercialization.
Merging engineering with science and medicine, the department is now
included under the umbrella of the Academic Health Center at FIU, in
partnership with the colleges of Medicine, Nursing & Health Science,
Arts & Sciences and Public Health.
With close to $4 million of external funding, research is an integral part
of the department’s mission and its success. Research conducted by
members of the department is clustered into three areas:
• Basic Research in Engineered Tissue Model Systems
• Diagnostic Bioimaging and Sensor Systems
• Therapeutic and Reparative Neurotechnology
Adaptive Neural Systems Laboratory is focused on developing and utilizing new scientific
knowledge and engineering technology to address the complex physiological, medical
and societal problems presented by neurological disability. Its research agenda is at the
intersection between bioengineering, neuroscience and rehabilitation. ans.fiu.edu
Tissue Engineered Mechanics, Imaging and Materials Laboratory focuses on tissue
engineering approaches to and determining treatment strategies/solutions for primarily
cardiovascular disease but also in other biological systems where tissue function is lost as a
result of injury, degenerative and/or genetic conditions.
Optical Imaging Laboratory focuses on optical imaging instrumentation, tomography
studies with various biomedical applications such as breast cancer imaging and functional
brain mapping. web.eng.fiu.edu/oil/
Nanobioengineering/Bioelectronics Laboratory focuses on whole cell and
nanotechnology integrated biomedical sensors and the development of the next generation
of biomolecule-based devices for point-of-care testing, clinical diagnosis and therapy, lab-
on-a-chip, toxicity assay and homeland security. nanobio.fiu.edu
