Program Overview
MSOE’s Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering is a highly interdisciplinary and application-focused program that prepares students to design, develop, and implement technologies that improve human health. This innovative program integrates engineering principles with biological and medical sciences to address challenges in healthcare, from advanced medical devices and diagnostics to rehabilitation systems and biomedical instrumentation. With a strong emphasis on real-world problem-solving, industry collaboration, and ethical innovation, MSOE’s biomedical engineering graduates are well-equipped to make meaningful contributions in medical device development, healthcare research, and clinical technology support.
STEM-designated: The Biomedical Engineering program at MSOE is officially classified as a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) program, reflecting its strong foundation in scientific and engineering principles. This designation not only underscores the technical rigor of the curriculum but also provides international students with the opportunity to extend their Optional Practical Training (OPT) period in the U.S., enhancing their post-graduation career prospects in healthcare technology and engineering sectors.
Curriculum: The curriculum in MSOE’s Biomedical Engineering program combines core engineering coursework with specialized classes in biology, physiology, biochemistry, and medical systems. Students gain hands-on experience in areas such as biomechanics, bioinstrumentation, biomaterials, and medical imaging. The program places a strong emphasis on design and innovation through lab-intensive courses and project-based learning. A hallmark of the curriculum is the senior design project, where student teams collaborate with healthcare or industry partners to develop a fully functional biomedical device or system. Throughout the program, students also develop proficiency in essential tools like MATLAB, SolidWorks, LabVIEW, and CAD systems, ensuring technical fluency that translates directly into industry roles.
Research Focus: While MSOE is primarily undergraduate-focused, the Biomedical Engineering program offers students opportunities to participate in applied research that explores cutting-edge areas such as tissue engineering, wearable health monitoring, biosignal processing, and implantable devices. Research is often conducted in collaboration with MSOE’s Applied Technology Center (ATC), as well as clinical institutions and medical device companies. Students can engage in MSOE’s Academic Undergraduate Research (AUR) program to gain valuable experience in hypothesis-driven experimentation, data analysis, and scientific communication—key skills for both industry and graduate study.
Industry Engagement: MSOE maintains strong relationships with prominent healthcare organizations and biomedical companies, including GE Healthcare, Medtronic, Aurora Health Care, and Rockwell Automation. These partnerships provide students with rich experiential learning opportunities through internships, co-ops, and industry-sponsored senior design projects. Guest lectures, site visits, and career fairs offer regular engagement with professionals, ensuring that students remain aligned with current trends and employer expectations. These industry connections enhance job placement outcomes and help students transition seamlessly into biomedical careers or advanced studies.
Global Perspective: MSOE’s Biomedical Engineering program incorporates global healthcare challenges, international regulatory standards, and cross-cultural design considerations into its curriculum. Students explore topics such as global access to healthcare technology, international medical device development, and ethical considerations in diverse clinical settings. Study abroad options and collaborative projects with international partners further broaden students' perspectives, preparing them to design solutions that are not only innovative but also globally inclusive. This global mindset equips MSOE graduates to contribute effectively to multinational companies and international healthcare initiatives.
