Study Level

Undergraduate

The three educational objectives of the Biomedical Engineering program are achieved via the implementation of a curriculum with four parallel concentrations which include a common core and concentration-specific courses. The core curriculum is designed to provide a broad foundation in the basic sciences and in engineering. Concentration-specific courses provide the depth required to be proficient engineers. The four concentrations are Electrical (E), Mechanical (M), Biomaterials and Tissue (B) and Premedical (P). The Premed concentration satisfies the requirements for admission to medical school (see Pre-medical Advising and Requirements) and provides depth in the area of biomaterials and tissue engineering. The curriculum is designed to provide all graduates with the analytical and design skills required to formulate and solve problems at the interface of engineering and life sciences. Outstanding students are prepared for graduate studies or medical school. Required courses in the humanities and social sciences provide students with an awareness of social, ethical and environmental issues related to their profession. The curriculum has been carefully designed with the prerequisite structure in mind so that students have to draw from previously acquired knowledge to complete the upper level course requirements successfully. The curriculum includes two or three technical electives selected by the student based on their individual professional interests. The curriculum places a special emphasis on written and oral communication skills. Many of the Biomedical Engineering courses, as well as the capstone design project, include a requirement for a written term paper and oral presentation on a course-related topic related to the class.

More programs from the university

More than 15,000 undergraduate and graduate students from around the world call UM home during the academic semesters. The University has grown from its main location in the City of Coral Gables to include the medical campus located in Downtown Miami, the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science on Virginia Key, the John J. Koubek Center in Little Havana, the James L. Knight Center in Downtown Miami, and the South and Richmond campuses in southwest Miami-Dade county. With more than 10,000 full- and part-time faculty and staff, UM is the largest private employer in Miami-Dade County. The University was chartered in 1925 by a group of citizens who felt an institution of higher learning was needed for the development of their young and growing community. The inaugural class of 560 students enrolled in fall of 1926The University's 12 colleges and schools, along with the Division of Continuing and International Education, offer 150 undergraduate, 130 master's, 60 doctoral and two professional areas of study. The Coral Gables campus houses eight schools and two colleges. The School of Medicine has its own campus that is part of the University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Medical Center complex in downtown Miami. The Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science is located on Virginia Key in Biscayne Bay. Additionally, other academic programs, including bi-lingual Continuing Education classes, are offered at the Koubek Center in Little Havana.Creating new knowledge is one of the highest priorities for a research university. Each day, in laboratories, studios, clinics, and classrooms across the campuses, what we know is rigorously questioned and challenged in the pursuit of new knowledge. Research and sponsored program expenditures totaled nearly $270 million (FY 05).Out-of-classroom activities play an important role in a college experience -- and rich student life at the University of Miami offers a multitude of opportunities. More than 260 student organizations reflect a wide array of interests, while the Greek community is home to 28 fraternities and sororities.
