BSBM Biomedical Engineering at University of Colorado Boulder

Programme overview

Biomedical engineering is an exciting, multidisciplinary field that lies at the interface of medicine, biology and engineering. Biomedical engineers use engineering principles to analyze and solve problems in biology and medicine, providing an overall enhancement to healthcare. Biomedical engineers create technology to save lives and improve the quality of life.

Faculty: College of Engineering and Applied Science | Department: Biomedical Engineering | Location: Boulder, CO, United States

What you will study

Students may take up to and including 12 graduate credit hours (or 13, if a 4-credit course is completed as part of those credits) while in the undergraduate program which can later be used toward the master's degree. Sample listed courses: CHEN 1201 General Chemistry for Engineers 1 3; CHEN 1203 General Chemistry for Engineers 2 3; CHEM 1221 Engineering General Chemistry Lab; CHEN 1211 Accelerated Chemistry for Engineers.

Career pathways

At the same time, biomedical engineers employ concepts learned from biology and medicine to generate new (biomimetic) engineering designs in fields such as robotics and artificial intelligence.
