Biomedical Engineering weaves a strong life science foundation with multidisciplinary engineering fundamentals for investigating and understanding living systems using quantitative assessment tools, engineering living systems, and developing novel biomedical sensors and devices. Biomedical Engineering is listed by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) as one of the fastest growing occupations in the U.S. for the decade ending in 2018. This positive trend is a direct result of the ever-increasing demand for advanced and sophisticated medical technologies as well as for a cost-effective healthcare service for our society. Biomedical engineers conduct research, design, develop and evaluate systems and deliver products that address health-related problems. They apply science and technology in support of improved healthcare. The Department of Biomedical Engineering at FIU offers the following academic programs:
