Engineering - Biomedical-Engineering

The educational mission of Biomedical Engineering (BME) Program is to deliver high quality undergraduate education which combines balanced theoretical and practical topics in Biological, Medical and Electrical systems. Graduates of the program will have a mastery of fundamental knowledge in a variety of Biomedical Engineering fields, management, and entrepreneurial skills. Graduates will be qualified to pursue successful careers in their profession or graduate studies in different areas.

The educational objectives of the program are determined to support career advancement of the graduates as they pursue their career goals. The graduates will:

1. Design, biomedical systems in tune with community needs and environmental concerns
2. Be able to develop and integrate new technologies as they emerge
3. Engage in a technical/managerial role in diverse teams
4. Pursue entrepreneurial initiatives and launch startup companies

Upon completion of the program graduates shall be able to:

1. an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics
2. an ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors
3. an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences
4. an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts
5. an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives
6. an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions
7. an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies

The undergraduate curriculum for the degree of Bachelor of Engineering in Biomedical Engineering consists of 150 credit-hours of course work + IC3 + 30 credits transferred from Lebanese Baccalaureate or equivalent.

Biomedical engineers are responsible for the creation of artificial organs, automated patient monitoring, blood chemistry sensors, advanced therapeutic and surgical devices, application of expert systems and artificial intelligence to clinical decision making, design of optimal clinical laboratories, medical imaging systems, computer modeling of physiological systems, biomaterials design, and biomechanics for injury and wound healing, among many others.

The Student’s Study Plan is given to every BME student upon his/her enrollment. The BME curriculum consists of the following components:
