Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering

Students in the Bachelor of Science in biomedical engineering degree program experience a broad-based, rigorous bioengineering education set on a strong foundation in basic sciences and mathematics. Based on analytical knowledge, the curriculum includes a wide range of biomedical engineering applications and practice through examples, case studies demonstrating applications of bioengineering principles, and methodologies. Hands-on experience using the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practices in the solving of biomedical engineering problems are emphasized.
We help students develop workforce skills, including critical thinking, communication, teamwork, collaboration, and leadership development through course work and extracurricular activities. Additionally, there are internship and co-op opportunities and other research training programs that help students to gain experience in the real world.
The 127-hour curriculum leads to a Bachelor of Science degree in biomedical engineering. Students have the option to choose either the tissue engineering, biomaterials, and biomechanics concentration or the medical imaging and instrumentation concentration.
Transfer students may receive credit for courses listed in the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board’s Field of Study Curriculum.
