Biomedical engineering applies principles of engineering to study and solve problems in biology and medicine. Our goal is to produce high-quality graduates with broad-based education in biomedical engineering who are well prepared for careers in industry and further study in graduate, medical or other health professional schools. Our graduates are trained to apply their skills in an ethical, sustainable and environmentally responsible manner to make contributions that address societal and individual needs. Our objective is to prepare students: for productive employment, graduate study or professional programs, especially in human and animal medicine, biotechnology and related biology-based engineering fields who continue to develop technical knowledge, awareness and leadership abilities to address domestic or global issues in human health who will ethically and responsibly contribute to society, drawing from an integrated, multidisciplinary biomedical engineering education, focusing on sustainability and environmentalism Accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org/.

Biomedical engineers are primarily employed in: governmental regulatory agencies hospital and research facilities medical and educational institutions the medical device, biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries In industry, they may work in all aspects of product development including: business development manufacturing marketing quality regulatory research and design sales Because of their background in both the engineering and medical fields, they often serve a coordinating or interfacing function and provide a key role for interdisciplinary teams. Government positions may involve: evaluating new technologies product testing and safety setting standards In the hospital, biomedical engineers serving in a clinical engineering function may provide advice on the selection and use of medical equipment and supervise performance testing and maintenance. Biomedical engineers may also build customized devices for special health care, rehabilitation or research needs.
