Graduate Programs Lead to High Impact Careers
Biomedical engineering is one of the fastest growing fields of engineering and the knowledge and skills of persons with advanced degrees are in high demand. Students from diverse fields of biomedical sciences and engineering can find high impact careers following a graduate degree.
The video below from the National Science Foundation describes one such career path: "A student interested in helping people and improving the lives of others through better health care and medicine has a lot of career options, and one such option is in the field of engineering! Biomedical engineering combines biology, medicine and engineering to advance human health. Michelle Khine talks about her work as a biomedical engineer, life beyond the lab, and inspiration from some unexpected sources (like Yoda and Shrinky Dinks!)"
Signature Research Areas
