Introduction

Are you interested in biology, medicine, and engineering but can't decide which one to pick? UB's biomedical engineering (BME) program lets you explore all of your interests in one do-it-all major. If you get excited about things like making 3D models of the brain to improve cancer care, designing wearable medical sensors, and using artificial intelligence to prevent cardiac deaths—and you’re good at science and math—then BME could be exactly what you’ve been looking for.

What will I learn?

As a biomedical engineering major, you’ll start by taking core classes in biomedical principles, as well as basic math and science courses. You’ll get hands-on experience with design and modeling (typically using 3D printers and other technology), then move on to lab experiments and more advanced topics, including electives that let you go deeper in areas such as cell engineering, cardiovascular biomechanics, and orthopedic science. And yes, you’ll typically also have opportunities to take some classes outside of your major.

What can I do outside of class?

At UB, you’ll have opportunities starting right away to get hands-on experience and make connections:

  • Internships, co-ops, and experiential learning: Our students have helped perform quality control testing related to COVID-19 vaccines, worked on improving prosthetics for people of color, and have had countless other life-changing experiences (including the engineering intramurals on campus).
  • Student groups: Join one of the dozens of engineering student clubs, including networking and social groups specifically for biomedical engineering students.
  • Research: You may be able to conduct and present research in molecular engineering, biomedical devices, medical imaging, and other areas.
  • Study abroad: If you’re looking for a life-changing experience and international perspective, consider going abroad; UB engineering students have traveled to Costa Rica and Europe during summer and winter breaks.
