Bachelor of Science in Engineering
Option in Biomedical and Clinical Engineering
(code EE__BS02) (135 units)
Description
The Department of Electrical Engineering administers an option in Biomedical and Clinical
Engineering that allows the student to acquire substantive competence in biomedical engineering
and biology. The program builds upon a strong base of biology, mathematics, physics,
chemistry, and engineering science to develop a clinically oriented biomedical engineer
to serve medical and industrial needs. It includes a core of standard electrical
engineering courses as well as courses and laboratories in biomedical engineering,
anatomy, physiology and biology. Elective units are available in the senior year to
explore individual areas of interest.
Students planning to attend medical, dental or other health professional or graduate
schools in Biomedical Engineering may select courses in Chemistry and/or Biology with the
approval of the Biomedical Engineering advisor.
Laboratory facilities in the field of biomedical engineering are available in the
engineering buildings; and laboratory facilities for anatomy and physiology are available
on campus. Computer systems are available to simulate biological
systems and to collect, process and display physiological data.
