How do I study Biological Engineering or Biomedical Engineering at MIT?
As you may have heard, Biological Engineering was approved this spring as MIT’s first new undergraduate major in 29 years, and is offered on a limited enrollment basis to students of the class of 2008 or later. The curriculum for the BE SB can be found on the BE website at http: //web.mit.edu/be/index.htm. Biomedical Engineering can be pursued through the major by adding appropriate electives to the core class schedule. The BME minor degree, which is administered by BE, is a minor designed to supplement students’ primary education with some of the tools needed to successfully apply their engineering of choice to medicine. The curriculum of this minor can be found at this website: http://web.mit.edu/be/education/ugradreq.htm. Pamphlets containing all these materials are available in the BE office (56-651) and at the (BE)-BMES booth at the Activities Midway.
