View Learning Objectives

Upon graduation from the Biomedical Engineering program, students will be able to:

  • Apply knowledge of mathematics, science and engineering to solve problems encountered in the field
  • Design and conduct experiments
  • Analyze and interpret data
  • Design a system component or process to meet desired needs with realistic constraints
  • Function on multi-disciplinary teams
  • Identify, formulate and solve engineering problems
  • Understand professional and ethical responsibility
  • Convey technical information in written and oral form to technical and nontechnical persons
  • Understand the impact of engineering solutions on people, cultures and environments
  • Recognize the need for and ability to engage in lifelong learning
  • Apply knowledge of contemporary issues
  • Use techniques, skills and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice
 

While not specified as a student outcome, the program will also assess students' fulfillment of the following biomedical engineering program criteria:

  • An understanding of biology and physiology
  • An ability to apply mathematics, science and engineering to problems at the interface of engineering and biology
  • An ability to make measurements on and interpret data from living systems, addressing the problems associated with the interaction between living and non-living materials and systems
 

Within a few years of receiving your undergraduate degree from the biomedical engineering program, students will be expected to:

  • Participate as a technical contributor and member of a design and/or development team
  • Communicate effectively with individuals and teams with a wide variety of backgrounds
  • Pursue a professional or graduate degree or employment in the biomedical industry
  • Understand the legal, ethical, economic, regulatory and social requirements of medical device design and biomedical engineering research
  • Define, solve and implement solutions to a problem
  • Progress in developing leadership skills
  • Engage in lifelong learning.
