Master of Engineering
ME in Biomedical Engineering
Rutgers School of Engineering’s Master of Engineering (ME) in Biomedical Engineering is a non-thesis-based degree program that allows students to earn a master’s degree in biomedical engineering without performing research or requiring a thesis. In addition to coursework and training in bioengineering fundamentals, students complete and present a term paper, project, or independent study. The ME program is a convenient, flexible option for busy professionals looking to enhance their credentials with an advanced degree.
The ME degree requires 33 credits. See course listing and course descriptions.
Non-Thesis
M.Eng. students must write a research report and make a presentation at a public seminar on an ISE topic. Possible topics include work that was done individually for a class project, an extension of class material, or review and synthesis of several journal articles.
