Description
About the Program
Biomedical engineering, a multi-disciplinary field, is behind some of the most important medical breakthroughs today. Working closely together, engineers, scientists, mathematicians, and physicians have developed artificial organs, internal and external prosthetics, multiple imaging modalities, and diagnostic and therapeutic devices. Biomedical engineering has significantly contributed to improved health care and quality of life.
The MS program in Biomedical Engineering merges coursework from Tandon’s engineering departments along with research opportunities with biomedical engineering faculty from across NYU to create a degree path that matches a student’s BME career objectives.
Goal and Objectives
The goal of the MS in Biomedical Engineering program is to give students an in-depth, advanced education that provides them with the analytical tools to perform fundamental and applied research in biomedical engineering. Specific objectives include the following:
•Enrolling students who come from many disciplines and bring different skill sets to solve a broad range of biomedical engineering problems. The program accommodates students with a BS/BA or a more advanced degree in biomedical engineering, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, computer science, computer engineering, physics, chemistry, or biology.
•Providing students with a cutting-edge program that integrates quantitative-engineering skills with medical sciences. Students acquire the skills to engage in technological innovations that give people longer, healthier and more productive lives.
•Giving students an opportunity to focus on a wide range of contemporary topics critical to biomedical engineering. Core courses covering broad aspects of biomedical engineering will be followed by a choice of elective courses in such areas as biomedical imaging, tissue engineering and repair, biomedical devices, rehabilitation engineering, and capped by experiential learning in research laboratories or project courses.
•Merging the coursework, leadership and talents found at NYU Tandon's engineering departments with research opportunities led by biomedical engineering faculty across NYU. The collaboration between NYU Tandon and NYU School of Medicine is leading to a new model of biomedical education and to developing students with practical and fundamental knowledge. Students engage in independent study and research projects in collaboration with biomedical researchers and clinicians, on problems of immediate importance and application.
