Outcomes

Our curriculum is designed to provide the biomedical engineering student with the following outcomes:

(A) An ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, engineering, and science, including biology and physiology, at the interface of engineering and biology.

(B1) An ability to design and conduct experiments, including experiments on living systems.

(B2) An ability to analyze and interpret data, including data from measurements on living systems.

(C) An ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs, including systems involving the interaction of living and non-living states, within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability.

(D) An ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams.

(E) An ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems, including problems at the interface of engineering and biology.

(F) An understanding of professional and ethical responsibility.

(G) An ability to communicate effectively, in writing (g1) and by speaking (g2).

(H) The broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context.

(I) A recognition of the need for and an ability to engage in life-long learning.

(J) A knowledge of contemporary issues.

(K) An ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice and be prepared for further education in engineering, medicine, or biomedical science.
