Undergraduate Programs:
 Biomedical
engineering involves a synergistic combination of the techniques
and practices of a number of disciplines (including biology,
chemistry, physics, chemical engineering, mechanical
engineering, electrical engineering, and computer science),
brought together and focused toward the goal of creating more
effective tools, applications, and treatments in areas such as
regenerative medicine, tissue engineering, medical
instrumentation and devices, patient aids, and robustly
engineered medical practices. The department offers instruction
leading to a bachelor of science in biomedical engineering (BSBME)
for students in the School of Engineering. Furthermore, the
department offers second majors for engineering and liberal arts
students that, combined with a traditional major in engineering
or liberal arts, prepare students to apply their chosen
disciplines in the area of biomedical devices and systems. By
careful selection of course work, students who follow these
curricula can satisfy admission requirements for professional
schools of medicine, dentistry, business, or law. The biomedical
engineering program is not accredited by the Accreditation Board
for Engineering and Technology (ABET).
The Biomedical Engineering Department offers the following undergraduate programs:
Graduate Programs:
The
Biomedical Engineering Department offers three programs leading to
the Master of Engineering (M.E.), Master of Science (M.S.) Doctor
of Philosophy (Ph.D) and Certificate degrees:
Entrance Requirements for the graduate program:
Applicants to the graduate program are expected to have a degree
at the level of Bachelor or Master in engineering or
basic/applied/health sciences. Requirements include a basic
knowledge of biology, math through ordinary differential
equations, and some basic engineering courses (for example,
fluid mechanics, properties of materials, thermodynamics,
circuit theory). Students who do not meet all requirements may
be admitted into the program pending the successful completion
of courses aimed at the fulfillment of the requirements. Tufts
will offer the opportunity for students accepted into the
graduate program to attend courses specifically designed to
provide appropriate background in areas such as biology,
mathematics, circuit theory, chemical engineering, etc.
