COURSE
REQUIREMENTS The
Professional Track consists of 27 credit
hours of course work and a 3 credit hour
capstone project. The courses are organized
into three core areas: Life Sciences, Engineering
Management, and Biomedical Engineering.
The student will choose three courses from
the Engineering Management core based on
personal training requirements. The biomedical
engineering core includes a two course
sequence in one of the three primary technical
areas for industry: manufacturing, instrumentation,
or materials.

MASTER'S
CAPSTONE PROJECT
While the degree is structured as a non-thesis program, students will be required
to conduct an industrial project (3 credit hours). The project will include
contemporary topics and trends in biomedical engineering technology development
and will require a formal report and presentation upon completion. Professional
track students are required to take an oral final examination dealing with
the objectives of their study plan. The student will briefly summarize the
project report (20 minutes) as a part of the exam.
Non-Degree
seeking students
A student is allowed to take classes as a non-degree
seeking student while in the process of gaining
acceptance into the graduate program they wish
to pursue. The maximum amount of credits that may
be later applied to the program is 12 (4 classes).
