Biomedical and Chemical Engineering
Undergraduate Programs
The Bachelor of Science (BS) program in Bioengineering is designed for students interested in the application of physical science techniques to life-science problems. Graduates are prepared for graduate study in bioengineering or medicine, as well as, for careers in biomedical instrument design, medical device design, orthopedic prosthesis design, or engineering support for healthcare services.
The bioengineering curriculum provides a solid foundation in mathematics, physics, engineering, and biology, in preparation for advanced specialized studies. Two options are available: bioinstrumentation and biomechanics. The curriculum for the first two years is the same for both options, with specialization in the last two years. In consultation with a faculty advisor, students can specialize their curricula to emphasize preparation for industry, research or premedical studies. The Bioinstrumentation option is a 133 credit-hour program, while the Biomechanics program requires 132 credits to complete. Both programs are designed to be completed within four years.

ABET Objectives and Outcomes
The Bachelor of Science (BS) in Chemical Engineering is a program designed to prepare students to hold leadership positions in chemical engineering, continue their education through advanced study, and appreciate the impact of engineering on society. Graduates will have mastered the chemical engineering fundamentals necessary to serve as practicing engineers and will be prepared for further studies in engineering, science, or other professions.
The chemical engineering curriculum prepares students to apply the fundamentals of chemistry, physics, and engineering to problems related to the efficient and safe production of chemical and related products. A minimum of 128 credit hours is required for the completion of the BS degree. Students are introduced to the engineering method for problem solving, and concepts in engineering design, with the complexity and open-endedness of the problems increasing their sophomore, junior, and senior years. In their senior year courses, students are required to complete major design projects in their courses and laboratories. The BS degree is designed to be completed in four years.
