ABET Biomedical Engineering

The Ïã½¶´«Ã½ Institute of Technology Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, , under the commission's General Criteria and Program Criteria for Bioengineering and Biomedical Engineering and Similarly Named Engineering Programs.

BME Program Educational Objectives

The current educational objectives of the Biomedical Engineering (BME) program are:

  • Meet the expectations of employers of biomedical engineers (Industries- Health Care, Medical Devices & Services, Data Science).
  • Continue their professional development by pursuing advanced study if they so desire (MD, PhD, JD, MBA)
  • Continue their professional development by assuming/undertaking leadership roles in their communities and/or professions (Product Designing, Process engineering, AI system Integration)

BME Student Outcomes

Students from the BME program will attain, by the time of graduation:

  1. an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics
  2. an ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors
  3. an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences
  4. an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts
  5. an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives
  6. an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions
  7. an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
