Program Objectives
Engineering Skills - Biomedical Engineering alumni will possess the skills required to function as an entry level engineer as evaluated by the Fundamental of Engineering examination. Additionally, they will be able to critically solve multidisciplinary problems, evaluate alternative solutions to engineering problems, and succeed in their selected profession.
Design Skills - Biomedical Engineering alumni demonstrate industrial and professional skills that allow them to function as productive members of an engineering design team. Industrial skills include an understanding of common industrial design practices and/or entrepreneurial ventures. Professional skills include effective communication, multi-disciplinary teamwork, leadership, and global awareness.
Professional Responsibility - Biomedical Engineering alumni will exhibit professional responsibility and recognize the ethical, legal, and social issues involved in biomedical engineering. Alumni will also recognize the need to include service to society in the form of service to the engineering profession as well as other social, charitable, and civic organizations.
Career Planning and Development - Biomedical Engineering alumni engage in reflection, planning, self-assessment, growth, and lifelong/continual learning to ensure a successful career.
