Biomedical Engineering Tracks
RH-line1

To receive the B.S. Degree Program in Biomedical Engineering, each student must
satisfy the requirements of one of three Biomedical Engineering Tracks:  Biomaterials, Biomechanics or Biomedical Instrumentation.  The course options for each of these
tracks are given below.  Required courses for each track are shown in boldface type.

A total of 20 credits (including required courses) from one of the lists must be taken. 

 

It is not permissible to “mix and match” courses from different track lists
without expressed, written permission from the ABBE Department Head.
 
Biomedical courses that are offered as special topics courses (e.g. BE491 or BE597)

may only be used with the written permission of the department head.  Students

should work out their schedules in advance to ensure that all graduation requirements

are met.
