The Biomedical Engineering faculty members , each of whom holds a Ph.D. from a distinguished university, have published extensively and attract substantial funding from federal and private agencies. This facility houses classrooms , instructional laboratories , computers, faculty and administrative offices, and research and service laboratories. The Program is known as one of the premier programs of the University and the State. The program emphasizes a balance between theory and practical application, and provides the student with a range of career alternatives upon graduation including medical school , graduate school and employment . Internships are also available to undergraduates to help in making these important career decisions.
Graduate enrollment is approximately twenty-five students.
Many students come from across the United States and abroad to study Biomedical Engineering at Louisiana Tech University. The broad departmental objective of the program is to produce B.S. graduates who are equipped to pursue careers in the multidisciplinary fields of biomedical engineering, including medical school, graduate school and employment in industry. A separate specialty is also available for pre-medical students. The curriculum culminates with a senior design project, spread over the winter and spring quarters of the senior year. The design course provides instruction in structured engineering design and enables the students to choose and solve problems using their previous education.
