作为融合健康科学和工程原理领域的跨学科计划，该计划的学生将学习电气/电子和机械工程领域的技能，并将其与人体生理学相结合。学生将学习各种医院设备，并学习如何对设备进行故障排除，维修和维护。通过为学生提供充足的动手实践机会，使其可以在实验室中使用各种医疗设备来加强这一点。根据美国劳工统计局的数据，医疗设备和用品制造行业雇用了最多数量的生物医学工程技术人员。生物医学工程技术人员将是增长最快的单一职业，预计至少到2018年将增长72％或11,600个新工作。
The management of healthcare technology is a vital part of every healthcare system, which has led to a large demand for those coming into the profession and a constantly growing field of branching career options for Biomedical engineering technologists. This program is a great place for those who want to help others, have an interest in technology and enjoy a career where no two days are the same. As an interdisciplinary program, BMET teaches students the principles of engineering and how to integrate them with healthcare concepts. Students can expect to learn about various pieces of hospital equipment including how to troubleshoot, repair, and maintain that equipment. This will be reinforced by providing students with ample hands-on opportunities and virtual reality training sessions.<br>Program Highlights<br>Biomedical engineering leads all engineering disciplines in the percentage of degrees awarded to women at all levels: according to the American Society for Engineering Education.<br>Over the next 10 years, the Biomedical Engineering Technology profession is expected to grow 61.7% (source: Bureau of Labor Statistics)<br>Students will be given opportunities to perform work on a wide array of medical ranging from CT Scanning equipment to Dialysis equipment and everything in between via hands-on learning as well as Virtual Reality.<br>Job satisfaction is high as 80% in the field are happy with their jobs, pay, and benefits. (source: AAMI's 2012 Employment Survey)<br>Career Opportunities<br>Students who graduate from the BMET program can expect to be ready for any positions within the healthcare field that integrates medical technology, financial stewardship and patient safety. Some examples of the expected entry-level positions are:<br>Biomedical engineering technologist (Level I-IV), Renal biomedical engineering technologist<br>Diagnostic imaging biomedical engineering technologist, Healthcare technology management, Field service representative<br>Field service engineer
