Biomedical Engineering - CUNY City College

Biomedical Engineering from CUNY City College is a Campus Bachelor Biomedical Medical Engineering degree that prepares you for a Engineering career. Biomedical engineering (BME) is the application of engineering principles and physical and mathematical concepts to solve problems in medicine and biology. Biomedical engineering has been a critical component of the technological advances in medicine and health care delivery that has dramatically transformed the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of disease in the last few decades. Whether in the area of biomedical imaging, biosignal processing, medical instrumentation, biomechanics, biomaterials and implants, drug delivery, or cell and tissue engineering, these advances are continuing to accelerate. Our undergraduate biomedical engineering program consists of an innovative, interdisciplinary curriculum that will produce critical thinkers with effective problem-solving skills. We believe a biomedical engineer with a bachelor's degree should be well grounded in the basic engineering principles found in traditional mechanical, chemical, and electrical engineering subjects. We also believe the BME graduate should possess a solid background in biology and physiology, and develop an appreciation for the complexity of living systems. By combining this background with both breadth and depth in biomedical engineering topics, our biomedical engineering graduates will be prepared for work in industry or for entrance into medical school or graduate school. MISSION The mission of the Department of Biomedical Engineering at The City College, in conformity with the mission of the School of Engineering , is: I. To educate well-rounded and conscientious biomedical engineers capable of becoming leaders in our society. II. To carry out basic and applied research leading to new scientific ideas, systems, and devices in biomedical engineering. III.To offer advice, service, and support to industry, government agencies, schools, community groups and professional societies. PROGRAM OUTCOMES Upon graduation our students are expected to have: a. an ability to apply mathematical, scientific and engineering knowledge; b. an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data; c. an ability to design a system, component, or a process to meet desired needs; d. an ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams; e. an ability to identify, formulate, and solve real world biomedical engineering problems; f. an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility; g. an ability to communicate effectively; h. the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global and societal context; i. a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning; j. a knowledge of contemporary issues and a knowledge of emerging areas in biomedical engineering; k. an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice; l. preparation for pursuing advanced degrees.
