Program Description

The Biomedical Engineering (BME) program aims to provide students with fundamental engineering design and analysis skills to solve medical and biological problems. Biomedical Engineers work with health care professionals to design medical devices and equipment that enhance patients’ quality of life by applying engineering product and process design strategies to medical problems.

The program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, https://www.abet.org. under the General Criteria and the Biomedical Engineering Program Criteria.

The BME Program offers 3 tracks in Biomechanics, Bioelectric, and Biomaterials

The BME Biomechanics track can be combined in a 4+1 year double degree program with

  • BS Mechanical Engineering

  • MS Biomedical Engineering

  • MS Mechanical Engineering

  • MBA Business Analytics (Ground)

  • MBA Business Administration (Online)

The BME Biomaterial track includes a Pre-Health certificate and provides access to the program program.

Program Educational Objectives

  1. Gannon graduates apply and synthesize information to become leaders in biomedical engineering.
