Design transforms scientific knowledge into reality.
It is the essence of engineering. Today's remarkable advances in biotechnology and medical science demand that biomedical engineers receive special training to bring the promises of these advances to fruition. Creating new medical instruments, making the world accessible to people with disabilities or developing new therapeutic devices and treatments requires that we educate engineers in multiple disciplines, foster innovation and instill a strong command of design. Our objective is to offer a unique program that promotes design throughout the education of biomedical engineers. An educational program that emphasizes design must train students in cutting edge technologies, prepare engineers for the future needs of the biomedical industry and foster innovation and creativity.
