Biomedical Engineering Program Educational Objectives and Educational Outcomes for the BSBME Degree at IUPUI |
Program Educational Objectives:
The program educational objectives of our biomedical engineering undergraduate program are to integrate engineering and life science principles into a comprehensive curriculum that produces graduates who can achieve the following career and professional accomplishments, if desired:
Upon completing the BME degree, our students will possess:
a. an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering
b. an ability to design and conduct experiments (b1), as well as to analyze and interpret data (b2)
c. an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability
d. an ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams
e. an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems
f. an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility
g. an ability to communicate effectively
h. the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global,
economic, environmental, and societal context
i. a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning
j. a knowledge of contemporary issues
k. an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice
l. an understanding of biology and physiology
m. the capacity to apply advanced mathematics (including differential equations and statistics), science and engineering to solve problems at the interface of engineering and biology
n. the ability to make measurements on and interpret data from living systems, addressing the problems associated with the interaction between living and non-living materials and systems
