Biomechanics

Biomechanics is the study of mechanical laws related to the movement and structures of living organisms and serves as the scientific foundation for the program. An emphasis on biomechanics will prepare our students for medical school and graduate school, as well as careers in sports medicine, physical therapy, and other occupations that require a strong biomechanics foundation.

Medical Devices

The medical devices track focuses on engineering practice and innovation, meeting the current and future industry demands for the state. An increasing number of technologies and applications, combined with the needs of an aging population and growing reliance on personalized medicine, suggest a growing demand for biomedical engineers with experience in devices.

Imaging and Diagnostics

Imaging and diagnostics envelopes a wide range of methods to non-invasively look inside of the body. Medical imaging is an integral part of modern healthcare, encompassing a growing range of technologies that span whole organism to subcellular length scales to provide structural and functional information of health and disease. Imaging devices can be found in hospitals, clinics, and research laboratories throughout the world, requiring a growing need for biomedical engineers to lead the development of new technologies.

Therapeutics

As the world shifts towards more effective, accessible and personalized healthcare, Biomedical Engineers will need to apply their knowledge of transport phenomena, immunology, and biochemical engineering in unique ways. Therapeutics involves the integration of these principles to develop robust solutions to challenges in antibiotic resistance, targeted cancer treatment, and tissue regeneration.
