Constructing and implementing mathematical or computer models of physiological systems. Designing and constructing biomaterials and determining their mechanical, transport, and biocompatibility characteristics. Investigating the biomechanics of injury and wound healing. Developing implantable drug-delivery systems. BAE Biomedical Opportunities S tudents studying in the biomedical engineering concentration at NC State University are challenged with a curriculum rich in biology and engineering.
Students can make use of electives to strengthen their abilities in a particular study area.
The commitment to course diversity is why the Department of Biological and Agricultural Engineering has such a flexible program. In the last year of study, students are involved in a Senior Design Project, which is a real world experience. Staff is available to assist students with machine tools, woodworking, graphics, electronics and engineering. Some senior projects have benefited the Tammy Lynn Center for Developmental Disabilities and individual clients, including some with the NC AgrAbility program. Students are expected to document their work and present it in a public forum for final evaluation.
