生物医学工程是一个广泛的领域，致力于利用工程原理改善健康状况。例如，为BME毕业生设计可为髋部骨折的患者设计新的植入物，开发可检测电信号以检测心脏问题，发现抗癌和其他疾病的药物的工具都是可行的。我们的研究生课程与田纳西大学健康科学中心（UTHSC）合作。我们提供BME的三个研究生学位：项目硕士学位，论文学位和博士学位。学生可以选择在生物传感器，生物力学，生物电和生物材料领域工作。生物医学工程系的任务是：对生物医学工程学科的学生进行教育，以使他们为在生命科学与工程学的交接领域中的近期职业以及在行业，专业和社
The Department of Biomedical Engineering offers Research and Professional tracks for this Master's Degree. In addition, the Department offers accelerated combined BS/MS and certificate programs.<br>A student seeking admission into the program must have a bachelor's degree in engineering, the physical/life sciences, computer science, or mathematics from an accredited institution, or in the case of foreign students, from an institution recognized for preparing students for further study at the graduate level.<br>An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems (including those associated with the interaction between living and nonliving systems) by applying principles of engineering, physical (calculus-based physics, chemistry) and life sciences (biology, human physiology), and mathematics (through differential equations and statistics).<br>B. An ability to apply engineering design to realize/produce solutions that meet specified biomedical engineering problems and needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.<br>C. An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.<br>D. An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, health, safety, and societal contexts.<br>E. An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.<br>F. An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation to measure, analyze and interpret data from living and non-living systems, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.<br>G. An ability to acquire new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies in acquiring techniques and skills necessary for biomedical engineering practice, including the ability to model and perform engineering analyses of biomedical devices, systems, components and processes.
