生物医学工程师进行研究和研究生物系统的工程方面，以创造新的设备和程序来改善健康和生活质量。核心课程为工程原理提供了扎实的背景。生物材料和组织工程学课程侧重于力学原理以及基础化学，专门研究与生物结构，药物递送系统，组织工程构造物的材料相互作用。
Biomedical engineers conduct research and study the engineering aspects of biological systems to create new devices and procedures to improve health and quality of life. Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering Track focuses on mechanics principles, along with basic chemistry, to specialize in: material interactions with biological structures, drug-delivery systems, tissue engineering constructs. Degree work prepares you to pursue the joint M.D.Doctor of Philosophy in Engineering between the College of Engineering and Northeast Ohio Medical University.Gain important practical professional experience through the optional cooperative education program. Through co-op, you’ll alternate semesters of work and school following your sophomore year. As an added benefit, you’ll earn a competitive salary.UA's highly regarded student design teams allow students at all levels to apply classroom theory to a major design project. Our design teams consistently rank highly in national and international competitions.
