Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Biomedical Engineering] From University of Arkansas

The profession traditionally has focused on applications related to the development of instrumentation and diagnostic equipment, discovery of novel treatment options, production of new therapeutics, and the elucidation of underlying biophysical phenomena. Newer applications of bioengineering take advantage of the ever deepening understanding of human physiology and molecular genetics, as related to prevention, detection, and treatment of medical conditions.

The program objectives of the Biomedical Engineering undergraduate program are to produce graduates who are capable of:

• Succeeding in the practice of engineering or other professional activities, and
• Succeeding in post baccalaureate studies.

As a biomedical engineer, you will work on the cutting edge of the medical field, finding new ways to enhance our health and well-being. You could investigate new ways to diagnose and treat diseases like Alzheimer's and diabetes. You could design implants and prosthetics to help people with injuries, disabilities or diseases, or you could design high-tech medical equipment to be used in hospitals and doctor's offices. A bachelor's degree in biomedical engineering is also a great way to prepare for medical, dental or pharmaceutical school.
