Biomedical Engineering Biomechanics - Carnegie Mellon University

Biomedical Engineering Biomechanics from Carnegie Mellon University is a Campus Bachelor Biomedical Medical Engineering degree that prepares you for a Engineering career. Biomechanics refers to the application of principles of solid, fluid, and continuum mechanics to the study of the structure, function, and behavior of biological and medical systems under the influence of mechanical forces. Biomechanics draws on advances in biology, physics and applied mathematics, as well as new technologies in mechanical probing, imaging, and scientific computing. Biomechanics models provide quantitative descriptions of molecule, cell, tissue, organ, and whole organism behavior under mechanical stimuli, and are employed to characterize human health, disease, and injury. Biomechanics models are also used in the design of rehabilitative devices and strategies. The BMEC track is ideally suited to the combined training of BME and Mechanical Engineering or Civil & Environmental Engineering, which provides a strong core of the underlying physical principles and relevant non-BME applications. This track is also compatible with Electrical & Computer Engineering particularly for those interested in biomedical applications of robotics. A broad background in biomechanics enables students to work in the medical device industry or as a rehabilitation engineer. It also provides the ability to conduct fundamental biomechanics modeling and experimental research, or to pursue advanced education in medical or graduate schools.
