Bio-instrumentation, Neural engineering, Rehabilitation, approved for STEM-OPT extension, bio-sensor, medical diagnostic, medical imaging, neuro-prosthetics, point-of-care technologies
Learn to create biomedical products that address unmet healthcare needs and improve the human condition. You can fill a critical need in the biomedical industry for professionals who understand how regulations must be implemented in the device design and manufacturing processes.
The BSE program in biomedical engineering with a concentration in biomedical devices provides students with in-depth knowledge to translate an idea for a health solution into a viable prototype of a biomedical device.
With knowledge gained from courses that cover engineering and life sciences, and that tie the two together, graduates can apply their skills in an ethical and sustainable manner to make contributions that address societal and individual needs.
Accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, https://www.abet.org/, under the General Criteria and the Bioengineering and Biomedical Engineering Program Criteria.
This program may be eligible for an Optional Practical Training extension for up to 36 months. This OPT work authorization term may help international students gain skills and experience in the U.S. Those interested in an OPT extension should review ASU degrees that qualify for the STEM-OPT extension at ASU's International Students and Scholars Center website.
The OPT extension only applies to students on an F-1 visa and does not apply to students completing the degree through ASU Online.
