Biomedical engineers develop medical technologies in areas such as biomaterials, biosensors, wearable devices and imaging systems to improve people's lives. The Biomedical Engineering Bachelor of Science is geared to students looking to combine strong engineering skills and knowledge of biological sciences. Individualized degree plans are organized around three main areas of study: biomaterials to support or replace damaged tissue, biomechanics for supporting anatomical movement, and biosensors and microtechnologies to improve disease detection and management. Most Biomedical Engineering majors do high-profile research with faculty and complete sponsored senior design projects, which help launch their careers or entry into medical or graduate school. The B.S. in Biomedical Engineering is an approved pre-med program. The University of Arizona offers a Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering, as well as an accelerated master's degree option. BME students can tailor their undergraduate program to match their career goals or select from established specializations: Biomaterials, Biomechanics, Biomedical Imaging, Biomedical Informatics, Biomedical Technology and Devices, Pre-Health Professions
