Biomechanics and Biomedical Devices
Concentration Information
Students pursuing this concentration study bioengineering subjects with a strong mechanical engineering disciplinary background. Major areas covered in this concentration include biomechanics, biomaterials, bioinstrumentation, and bio-inspired manufacturing. The mission of the concentration is to prepare future leaders in biomedicine, medical device design, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical industry. Furthermore, this curriculum may be structured such that it is complementary to both the biomedical engineering minor and the minor program in toxicology and environmental health. (Recall that classes in your concentration may also be counted towards your minor).
