Program Educational Objectives
Within a few years after graduation, the graduates of the Biomedical Engineering BS will be able to:
1. Serve the profession and build a positive reputation by practicing science, mathematics, and engineering with specialized expertise in identifying problems and formulating solutions to problems in the fields of medicine and biology.
2. Utilize their curiosity, apply independent inquiry, and continue to enhance their knowledge and expand their skill sets to adapt and thrive in the complex and steadily evolving field of biomedical engineering and related disciplines.
3. Work independently as well as collaboratively with others while demonstrating leadership, accountability, initiative, and an ethical and social responsibility through effective communication of their ideas.
4. Continue their education by seeking out professional development opportunities including in advanced degree programs at the Master’s, Ph.D., or M.D. level after having been inspired by our faculty and their classes, laboratory experiments, or research experiences as undergraduates.
