Biomedical Engineering - Stony Brook University

Biomedical Engineering from Stony Brook University is a Campus Bachelor Biomedical Medical Engineering degree that prepares you for a Engineering career. Biomedical Engineering involves the combination of the physical, chemical, biological, and mathematical sciences with engineering principles to create solutions to a wide range of societal problems associated with medical , environmental, occupational, and product development issues. Bioengineers are the people who design and develop innovative materials, processes, devices, biologics, and informatics to prevent, diagnose, and treat disease, to rehabilitate patients, and to generally improve health. Bioengineers also provide environmentally sound solutions to industrial process problems, and use their knowledge of biological systems to create biologically inspired processes and products. The Department of Biomedical Engineering offers the major in biomedical engineering, leading to the Bachelor of Engineering (B.E.) degree . The department also offers a minor in bioengineering (BNG).In a rigorous, cross-disciplinary training and research environment, the BME major program provides an engineering education along with a strong background in the biological and physical sciences. It is designed to enhance the development of creativity and collaboration through study of a specialization area (BME Track, more below) within the field of biomedical engineering . Teamwork, communication skills, ethics and hands-on laboratory and research experience are emphasized. The curriculum provides students with the underlying engineering principles required to understand how biological organisms are formed and how they respond to their environment. Core courses provide depth within the broad field of biomedical engineering . These are integrated with, and rely upon, course offerings from both the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences and the College of Arts and Sciences. In order to achieve the breadth of engineering experience expected of biomedical engineering graduates, additional elective courses from the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences are required of all biomedical engineering students. An overview of the courses required of all BME majors can be found here (BME required courses). Graduates are prepared for entry into professions in biomedical engineering , biotechnology, pharmaceutical industry, and medical technology, as well as careers in academia, government, medicine and law. Potential employers include colleges and universities, hospitals, government, research institutes and laboratories, and private industry. Currently, three specialization tracks are offered for the major in biomedical engineering: Biomechanics and Biomaterials, Bioelectricity and Bioimaging, and Molecular and Cellular Biomedical Engineering (BMEtracks).
