BME @ UDOur program enables students to apply quantitative engineering design and analysis to biomedicine. Beginning in their first year, students are exposed to the engineering design process and coached through building their technical excellence and professional skills, making them desirable candidates for a variety of career paths. Equipped with a strong foundation in mathematics, the life sciences, and engineering analysis and design, students learn to identify, formulate and solve engineering problems based on fundamental biomedical concepts; to design and conduct laboratory experiments; and to critically analyze and interpret data.
Course topics you will explore:• Multiscale Biomechanics
• Bioinstrumentation
• Bioimaging
• Applied Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering
• Biosystems Engineering
and more!
