• Customized Curriculum: A set of 4 undergrad tracks help meet the individual needs and aspirations of students: pre-medical; biomechanics & rehabilitation engineering; bioinstrumentation, medical imaging and telemedicine; and biomaterials and hard tissue engineering.

• Internships and Co-Ops: An active internship program with nearby laboratories, hospitals, and industry permit students to experience and solve real-world problems in biomedical engineering.
