Why not a stand-alone degree in Biomedical Engineering?
Due to its interdisciplinary nature, the field of BME requires knowledge in a wide variety of engineering principles. The goal of the BME Department is to educate students to be equally conversant with both traditional engineering disciplines and aspects of life sciences and medicine. The Department capitalizes on the tremendous strength of the Carnegie Institute of Technology in traditional engineering education, and to enrich it with in-depth training in the life sciences and clinical applications.
