Biomedical engineering students take the traditional fundamental courses in chemistry, mathematics, physics and humanities, the core courses of after which they select an area of biomedical engineering on which to concentrate.

Concentrations:

• Biomaterials, Tissue engineering: including stem cell research and implantable materials.
• Bioinstrumentation: including biomedical signal processing, biomedical computer hardware design, BioMEMS and medical imaging processing.
• Biomechanics: biomechanics of living tissue, physiological mechanics of fluids, kinematics.
