Description
Location(s): Main Campus Close Return to: Academic Degrees and Programs The Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering program (BS) builds upon the base provided by the first-year engineering program at Watson College. The first-year core curriculum provides students with a broad foundation in engineering fundamentals, natural sciences, and mathematics. Depth in biomedical engineering is subsequently obtained through a series of required courses. The biomedical engineering curriculum is designed to offer students solid training in core engineering subjects (through core courses) while at the same time providing students with in-depth training in specific areas (through biomedical science and engineering electives). There are four concentrations a student can choose to pursue their career and professional skill training in the department: Pre-Med Concentration: Offers students training opportunities to pursue medical professions Biomaterials and Bio-pharmaceutical Technology Concentration: Offers students training opportunities to pursue biotechnology professions Biomedical Devices and Instrumentations Concentration: Offers students training opportunities to pursue biomedical and biomanufacturing professions Computational Biosystems Concentration: Offers students training opportunities to pursue medical bioinformatics and computational industrial professions The educational objectives of the undergraduate program in biomedical engineering are to ensure that our graduates are prepared for the workforce in the broad field encompassed by biomedical engineering and to pursue graduate studies in biomedical or other engineering fields, the sciences, or other disciplines such as business, law, or medicine.

                                        1. If students do not place into MATH 224, then MATH 223 (or its equivalent) and, if needed, MATH 108 (or its equivalent) and, if needed, MATH 107 (or its equivalent) and, if needed, MATH 106 (or its equivalent) are required prerequisites for completion of the major.

                                        2. Students who have not had adequate course preparation may need to take CHEM 100 prior to taking CHEM 104 & 105 & 106 or CHEM 107 & 108 or CHEM 111.

                                        3. While EDD 103/111/104/112 is preferred, in rare cases, under advisement from the Watson Advising Office, a first-year composition course and an introduction to computer programming course may be used to meet the EDD 103/111/104/112 requirement.
