Hours required and general/college requirements
A minimum of 120 semester hours, of which 36 must be advanced courses, and fulfillment of degree requirements for the Bachelor of Science degree as specified in the “University Core Curriculum ” in the Academics section of this catalog and the College of Engineering .
Major requirements
A minimum of 52 semester hours, including:
Required courses, 28 hours
Biomedical engineering electives, 6 hours
Two BMEN courses.
Additional engineering electives, 15 hours (minimum)
Other required courses, 44 hours
Minor
Students completing the requirements for this degree automatically earn a minor in mathematics. Through careful selection of engineering electives and electives taken toward one of the five optional tracks (see below), it may be possible for a student to fulfill the requirements for a minor in computer science and computer engineering, material science and engineering, electrical engineering, or mechanical and energy engineering.
Electives, 15 hours
15 hours to fulfill one of five tracks:
- Biomedical instrumentation: 15 hours in BMEN or EENG courses
- Biomechanics: 15 hours in BMEN or MEEN courses
- Bioinformatics: 15 hours in BMEN or CSCE courses
- Biotechnology: 15 hours in BIOC/BIOL
- Biomaterials: 15 hours in materials science and engineering
Other requirements
- BMEN foundation courses include BMEN 1300 , BMEN 2210 , BMEN 2320 , MATH 1710 and TECM 2700 . Satisfactory completion of the BMEN foundation courses with a minimum GPA of 2.5 is prerequisite to taking advanced courses in the major. Mandatory advisement is required each semester until the foundation courses have been successfully completed.
- A major grade point average of 2.0 is required for the BS with a major in biomedical engineering.
