塔夫茨大学生物医学工程系的愿景是在生物医学科学和工程学的最前沿促进综合研究，教育和企业家精神。该部门的任务是通过跨学科的方法来进行教育，设计和研究，从而推进生物医学工程领域。该部门涵盖组织工程和生物医学技术与设备的跨学科领域。鉴于塔夫茨大学是新英格兰最重要的医学中心之一和一流的工程学院的所在地，因此自然会成为这一快速发展领域公认的领导者。生物医学工程涉及协同结合许多学科（包括数学，统计学，生物学，化学，物理学，化学工程，机械工程，电气工程和计算机科学）的技术和实践的集合，并集中于创建更有效的工具，应用程序
The vision of the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Tufts University is to promote integrative research, education, and entrepreneurship at the forefront of biomedical science and engineering. The mission of the department is to advance the field of biomedical engineering through an interdisciplinary approach to education, design, and research. The department encompasses the interdisciplinary fields of tissue engineering and biomedical technologies and devices. Given that Tufts is home to one of New England's most important medical centers and an excellent School of Engineering, it's only natural that it would be a recognized leader in this fast-growing field. The biomedical engineering department is located in Tufts state-of-the-art research and learning facility, the Science and Technology Center, which also houses the Tissue Engineering Resource Center (TERC). In addition to TERC, biomedical engineering students do research alongside graduate students and faculty in the many experimentation facilities such as the biomedical engineering projects laboratory, cell and tissue culture laboratories, fermentation and bioprocessing laboratories, biomedical imaging systems, materials characterization facility, the Advanced Technology Laboratory, and several molecular biology laboratories.<br><br>The Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering (BME) is a degree program that combines training in design, research, and practical methods, with a solid math, science, and engineering curriculum to provide education with breadth and depth in the field. A key aspect of biomedical engineering is its interdisciplinary nature, introductory courses in mathematics, statistics, biology, chemistry, and physics, together with foundation/concentration engineering courses build the basis for creating the synergy among these disciplines that is required in the practice of biomedical engineering. The BME degree program also includes design and research projects, biomedical engineering specific courses, culminating in a year-long senior capstone project. The mission of the Bachelor of Science degree in Biomedical Engineering is to provide students with undergraduate experiences that provide a sound basis for professional practice in biomedical engineering, life-long learning, and leadership roles in the biomedical engineering field. The program leading to the BSBME degree is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).
