Bachelor of Science - Bioengineering - Biomedical Engineering

The Bioengineering Department offers a Bachelor of Science degree in bioengineering with a concentration in biomedical engineering: the biological and medical application of engineering principles in healthcare.

Biomedical engineers integrate engineering principles with the medical sciences to design and create medicines, artificial tissues and organs, devices, computer systems, and software to improve human health.

As a concentration within the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth’s bioengineering program, students’ program of study will bring together the life sciences, medicine, and engineering—providing a solid academic foundation and a broad interdisciplinary approach to the field.

Within the concentration, students will have the opportunity to explore: • cell and tissue engineering: with courses in areas such as nanotechnology, immunology, human organogenesis, and material surfaces • medical devices: with courses in areas such as implantable sensors, robotics, medical ultrasonics, and device regulations.
