How does the Biomedical Engineering Minor work?
The student enrolled in the program works to complete a Minor in biomedical engineering based on a solid background in a selected field of engineering. Degree candidates take every course that a conventional degree requires in an engineering major. The free and technical elective segments of the curricula are used by the student to take courses needed for Biomedical Engineering. The student completes all requirements for a traditional major and graduates with an accredited Bachelors Degree in the major of his/her choice. Additionally, since the student completes courses required for the Minor, the degree is designated, for example, “BS in Chemical Engineering — Minor in Biomedical Engineering.” An undergraduate registered in the Departments of Chemical Engineering, Civil & Environmental Engineering, Electrical & Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or Materials Science & Engineering qualifies for the Minor in Biomedical Engineering. Of course, a student may also elect to comp
