MS Biomedical Engineering

Program Learning Objectives

1. Analyze contemporary challenges in biomedical engineering, discover knowledge gaps, and assess needs to formulate research and development opportunities.
2. Demonstrate understanding of biomedical engineering practice in a regulated environment.
3. Utilize modern techniques and technologies to generate data of significance to biomedical innovations/challenges.
4. Apply advanced engineering methods – such as theoretical, computational, or manufacturing tool­s – to the design and/or evaluation of biomedical systems.
5. Employ statistical approaches to design experiments, and analyze & interpret data to form data-driven conclusions.
6. Communicate engineering, biological, and medical concepts in both written and oral forms.
7. Demonstrate independence and initiative in acquiring the knowledge and skills necessary to complete biomedical engineering projects at the interface between biology, medicine, and engineering.
