Biomedical Engineering

The undergraduate biomedical engineering program is a four-year program. All of the faculty participate in the instructional program. Students and faculty enjoy a favorable student/professor ratio in class, providing the opportunity for student participation and interaction. The teaching laboratories are modern with the latest equipment and are structured around computer-based engineering workstations. The senior design course brings all of the courses together in a creative experience working on actual biomedical engineering problems.

At WSU, we have two tracks within biomedical engineering:

The traditional track is for those students who would like to work in a health-care-related industry developing medical and surgical devices like prosthetics, artificial organs, as well as diagnostic or therapeutic instruments. Other potential career tracks relate to the area of medical imaging or the design of rehabilitative technology to assist people.

We also have a pre-med track for those that would like to go on to medical, dental, osteopathic, or veterinary school. This track is very unique since it provides all the career opportunities of the traditional track and, in addition, trains students in the common areas of biology and chemistry. Historically, our students score 10% higher on the MCAT and have a 10% higher acceptance rate to medical schools.
Semester Guide

WSU's BME program will produce biomedical engineers who will:

Objective 1: Be employed in industry/government or enrolled in graduate school.
Objective 2: Continue their education and broaden their knowledge in their chosen field.
Objective 3: Contribute as members of multi-disciplinary teams.
