Overview
Incorporating engineering and medicine, biomedical engineers provide a voice for those who cannot speak, an eye for those who cannot see, and find ways to deliver medicine safely and effectively. They have the satisfaction of knowing that their work can directly help other human beings.
Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering (B.S.)
IIT's Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering teaches students the fundamentals of biomedical engineering. This foundation consists of a broad exposure to the chemical, mathematical, physical, and biological sciences, coupled with the appropriate technical and engineering skills to be able to fill diverse professional roles in industry, graduate school, and the medical professions.
The curricula in biomedical engineering at IIT emphasize the fundamentals of sciences that form the common basis of all engineering subspecialties. This emphasis is intended to provide students with a solid engineering foundation for a career in which technology and engineering practice changes rapidly. In addition, elements of bioengineering design are incorporated at every level in the curricula. Students design and conduct laboratory experiments, use computer techniques in the formulation and application of theoretical approaches to problem-solving, and are exposed to real biomedical engineering problems.
