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:
- an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics
- 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
- an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences
- 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
- 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
- an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions
- an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
