Biomedical Engineering (BS, Minor)

Biomedical engineering encompasses the areas of biological, physiological, medical, and social systems, as well as other fields in which the design, development, or modification of complex, knowledge-intensive systems is a requirement.

Biomedical engineers will also learn about biodevices, pharmaceuticals, biomechanics, and bioinformatics while developing analytical and creative-thinking skills.
