Biomedical engineering concentration focuses on improving medical systems to enhance human health. Biomedical engineers take engineering science, analysis, and design and apply them in the context of human health performance and medicine. The ECU biomedical engineering concentration includes topics such as medical instrumentation, biological materials, and modeling in areas such as biomechanics and the physiological systems of the body. ECU Biomedical Engineering concentration students learn the fundamental principles of life science applications, and lifelong skills in engineering, communication and design and research. Small student-faculty ratios create a strong sense of collegiality between professors and students. Close collaboration and involvement with the ECU Brody School of Medicine faculty assure the most current and critical topics and laboratory experiences.
