Biomedical Engineering (BME) is a field that is focused on the application of engineering principles and design concepts to address problems in medicine and healthcare. Rooted in science, math, biology and engineering, the biomedical engineering program will encourage you to analyze, model and design biomedical engineering devices, systems, components and processes. Projects throughout the program, including a senior capstone project, will build skills in teamwork, communication and creative problem-solving, helping you to identify, formulate and solve complex engineering challenge. These projects help you work toward answering key challenges in the medical field. The ability to explore and make discoveries is a critical component of the major. A new, groundbreaking research agreement between UW-Eau Claire and Mayo Clinic Health System will provide you with unique research opportunities and workplace immersion experiences. Student internships and/or co-op experiences are also highly encouraged. The BME curriculum has been designed to identify and explore the most important emerging areas in biomedical engineering, such as imaging, 3D printing, implantable medical devices, bio-compatible materials and tissue engineering. As a result of longer life expectancy and higher rates of healthcare spending that increase the demand for new technologies and tools, biomedical engineering graduates are in high demand as they can bridge the gap between understanding engineering concepts and the biomedical problems that are being addressed. Exercising informed judgment and data-driven decisions, our grads help address the increasing need for biomedical solutions, particularly around those that serve the health care needs of an aging U.S. population. You may go on to design implants, improve pacemakers, create engineered tissues, develop new medical imaging tools and so much more. With countless career paths throughout a variety of industries, you and your biomedical engineering deg
