ABET Program

Mission

To provide an outstanding education for engineers in biomedical engineering and to develop future leaders.

Goals

To provide students with the education needed for a rewarding career.

Objectives

To provide students with a solid foundation in biomedical engineering, while preparing them for a broad range of career opportunities. The program's primary emphasis is on biomedical engineering fundamentals, while allowing students to personalize their curriculum to prepare them for biomedical engineering careers and diverse careers in areas such as medicine, law, business, and health care delivery. To provide opportunities for teamwork, open ended problem-solving and critical thinking.
