Program Overview

Introduction to Biomedical Engineering

The Department of Biomedical Engineering at Case Western Reserve University offers a comprehensive program in biomedical engineering. This program is designed to provide students with a strong foundation in engineering principles and their application to medical and biological systems.

Academics

The department offers undergraduate and graduate programs in biomedical engineering. The undergraduate program provides students with a broad-based education in engineering, mathematics, and science, as well as specialized courses in biomedical engineering.

Undergraduate Program

The undergraduate program in biomedical engineering is designed to provide students with a strong foundation in engineering principles and their application to medical and biological systems. The program includes coursework in:

• Mathematics and science
• Engineering principles
• Biomedical engineering specialties

Students can declare the biomedical engineering major in the middle of the fall semester of their first year. To declare the major, students must pick up a declaration form from the undergraduate programs coordinator and return it to the department after it has been signed by the appropriate advisor.

Graduate Program

The graduate program in biomedical engineering is designed to provide students with advanced training in biomedical engineering. The program includes coursework in:

• Advanced engineering principles
• Biomedical engineering specialties
• Research methods and techniques

Specialization Tracks

The department offers four different specialization tracks in biomedical engineering. These tracks are designed to provide students with specialized training in a particular area of biomedical engineering. The tracks are:

• Biomaterials
• Biomedical Imaging
• Neural Engineering and Rehabilitation
• Artificial Intelligence
• Biomechanics
• Immunoengineering

Students can choose a specialization track when they declare the biomedical engineering major. Each track has unique classes in the sophomore year that serve as prerequisites for later courses in the sequence.

Research Areas

The department has a strong research program in biomedical engineering, with faculty members working in a variety of areas, including:

• Biomaterials
• Biomedical Imaging
• Neural Engineering and Rehabilitation
• Artificial Intelligence
• Biomechanics
• Immunoengineering

Declaration Procedure

To declare the biomedical engineering major, students must:

• Review the four different specialization tracks
• Pick up a declaration form from the undergraduate programs coordinator
• Return the form to the department after it has been signed by the appropriate advisor
