BS - Bachelor of Science

Program Title

Biomedical Engineering

Biomedical Engineering is an interdisciplinary field that blends engineering and scientific principles to address various challenges in human health and medicine. Its primary intellectual aim is to employ quantitative engineering principles to analyze the functionality of biological systems and develop innovative systems addressing the unfulfilled demands of clinical medicine. Unlike other life science fields, biomedical engineering leverages scientific understanding to innovate biomaterials, instruments, and devices. The Department of Biomedical Engineering at FIU offers an undergraduate curriculum designed to help students build a thorough understanding of the basic laws of science and acquire knowledge in major biomedical engineering subareas, including tissue engineering, biosignals and systems, and biomaterials and biomechanics. The curriculum also stimulates and develops creative and innovative thinking, a professional attitude, economic judgment, and environmental consciousness. The program has an ultimate goal of fostering the student's potential to the fullest possible extent, equipping them to perform exceptionally as biomedical engineers, and providing them with the fundamental principles needed for pursuing advanced studies in various fields, as well as a plethora of career opportunities, such as scientist/engineer for research and development in medical device company (R&D), product development manager in device manufacturing, quality assurance engineer for regulatory affairs (FDA) and engineering standard (NIST), and sale representatives. Graduates also secure positions in pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and consumer products industries. Although these positions are typically at the Entry-to-Mid level, our program also prepares graduates to pursue terminal degrees in engineering (e.g., PhD) and medicine (MD), and find employment as physicians or researchers in federal agencies such as FDA, NIH, and USPTO.
