The Department of Biomedical Engineering (BME) at Rutgers University is dedicated to providing the highest quality broad-based technical, scientific, and liberal arts education. BME provides and maintains an outstanding educational program in an environment that develops diverse skills designed for professional success.
-
The current educational objectives of the Biomedical Engineering program are:
- graduates establish themselves as practicing professionals in biomedical or biotechnology industries or engage themselves in advance study in biomedical engineering or a related field,
- graduates make positive contributions in biomedical industries and/or other sectors, and
- graduates work successfully as a member of a professional team and function effectively as responsible professionals.
-
Students from the Biomedical Engineering program will attain (by the time of graduation):
- an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics
- 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
- an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences
- 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
- 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
- an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions
- an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies
