Program Accreditation & Objectives

 

Accreditation

The Bachelor of Science program in Biomedical Engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, https://www.abet.org, under the General Criteria and the Program Criteria for Bioengineering, Biomedical and Similarly Named Engineering Programs. 

 

Program Educational Objectives (PEOs)

Graduates of the Biomedical Engineering program (within a few years of graduation) will:

  • Secure employment in engineering, biomedical, life-science, and/or health-related professions.
  • Continue their professional development by pursuing advanced education, including graduate or professional degrees, certificate programs, and other formal training opportunities.
  • Demonstrate a willingness to serve in leadership or supporting roles that contribute to addressing societal needs—such as improving health, safety, equity, sustainability, and community well-being—at local, national, or global levels.

Student Outcomes (SOs)

Our undergraduate students will attain:

  1. An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
  2. An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.
  3. An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
  4. An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.
  5. An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.
  6. An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
  7. An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
