Our ABET-accredited, highly-ranked department benefits from a longstanding, extensive and collegial partnership with our world-renowned School of Medicine. We seek to provide a first-class undergraduate engineering-based education to prepare students for a variety of careers. Our graduate training focuses on cutting-edge research which endeavors to encompass modern, interdisciplinary approaches to advancing basic science with the hope of better understanding, diagnosing and treating human diseases. Major research thrusts are:
We have 17 core faculty, more than 300 undergraduate and 100 graduate students and are housed in two superb, modern teaching and research facilities, The Uncas A. Whitaker Hall for Biomedical Engineering (completed in 2002) and in a portion of the Stephen F. & Camilla T. Brauer Hall which provides expansion space for our dynamic, still-growing department.
