Biomedical engineering encompasses the areas of biological, physiological, medical and social systems, as well as other fields in which the design, development or modification of complex, knowledge-intensive systems is a requirement. Biomedical engineers will also learn about biodevices, pharmaceuticals, biomechanics and bioinformatics while developing analytical and creative-thinking skills. Biomedical engineering students in the Watson School learn from and work with an outstanding and experienced faculty involved in leading research areas. Students who participate in undergraduate research have the opportunity to delve into a focused area of interest while gaining meaningful hands-on experience, applying technical skills and putting their analytical and critical-thinking abilities to practice.
