It's a relatively small school, so undergraduates begin work with professors immediately if they want, helping to solve problems in human health care. Each biomedical engineering project we do has a medical component, so frequently students work with physicians and nurses. Many universities with accredited engineering colleges do not have strong liberal arts components. Our students study engineering but also French literature, Spanish, fine arts. They also can pursue careers outside of engineering, such as medicine or law, when they complete their engineering degrees.
Biomedical engineers work on projects that improve human health.
One popular alternative is engineering and entrepreneurial studies, which enables students to learn how businesses operate and even how to start one of their own. Top faculty members who are recognized for teaching excellence teach first-year engineering students. Aviv Hod Junior Biomedical Engineering Kefar Sava, Israel Iowa has strong research concentrations in biomechanics of the spine, articular joint contract mechanics, total joint replacement, in vitro and in vivo studies on heart valve replacement, and quantitative medical image processing. From your first year on, you'll be given opportunities to work on research projects. All students are required to do research during their senior year.
