Biomedical Engineering

If you鈥檙e the curious and caring kind, a we-can-make-something-to-fix-that tinkerer, this is the place for you. In our undergraduate Biomedical Engineering program, you鈥檒l discover how engineering principles can be applied to living systems and how to improve human health by developing advanced medical devices and systems. We believe that a top biomedical engineer must be deeply trained in both a traditional engineering practice and the biomedical sciences. You can complete your Biomedical Engineering additional major alongside a major in a traditional engineering discipline in four years.

Biomedical Engineering

Additional Major
Minor

The Biomedical Engineering additional major program draws on extensive collaborations with sister departments in the College of Engineering and major medical institutions in Pittsburgh. When you choose Biomedical Engineering as a major, you also declare a major in one of the traditional engineering disciplines: Chemical Engineering, Civil & Environmental Engineering, Electrical & Computer Engineering, Materials Science & Engineering听or Mechanical Engineering. This collaborative approach, combined with a rigorous engineering education, confers unique depth and breadth to the education of Biomedical Engineering graduates. A combination of core courses, a specialized track you choose听and a capstone design course give you a solid launchpad to your future.

These specialized tracks build depth in a specific aspect of biomedical engineering and include: biomaterials and tissue engineering, biomechanics, biomedical devices, biomedical signal and image processing, cellular and molecular biotechnology, and neuroengineering. Students interested in building depth in a different area can self-design their own depth sequence.
