Biomedical Engineering prepare students for careers in solving engineering problems in health care, biomedical research, bioinformatics, and biotechnology. Areas of current faculty research include biomaterials, nanobiotechnology, bioanalytical microsystems, patient-care devices, tissue engineering, flow cytometry, disease processes, clinical translation, bioinformatics and medical informatics, and molecular and cellular systems.

Plan I (thesis): The minimum requirements for the Plan I thesis-based M.S. include 6 credit hours of thesis credit (BME 599) and 24 credit hours of coursework that must include 18 credit hours of mandatory courses, as approved by the Committee on Studies, and at least 3 credit hours from the electives such as those listed below. Plan I automatically meets the requirement of at least 12 credit hours of coursework at the 500-level or higher, exclusive of thesis credit, as stipulated by this Catalog for this plan.

Plan II (non-thesis): The minimum requirements of the Plan II non-thesis M.S. include 32 credit hours of coursework, with at least 24 credit hours drawn from the required and elective courses list and 3 credit hours of a research seminar/problems course. At most, 6 credit hours of *400-level School of Engineering courses are allowed. Also, at least 12 credit hours of coursework should be at a 500-level or higher, as stipulated by this Catalog for this plan. A final exit exam is required by this degree plan, with a committee of similar makeup to those of the Plan I M.S.

Plan III (coursework only): The minimum requirements of the Plan III coursework-based M.S. include 30 hours of coursework, with at least 24 credit hours drawn from the required and elective courses list. At most, 6 hours of *400-level School of Engineering courses are allowed. Also, at least 12 hours of coursework should be at a 500-level or higher, as stipulated by this Catalog for this plan. Seminar, thesis, and independent study (i.e., 鈥淧roblems鈥�) courses are not required by this plan, nor is a final exit exam.

Concentration in Bioinformatics: The M.S. concentration in Bioinformatics is offered under Plan III and requires completion of a minimum of 30 credit hours from the following:

Mathematics (3 credit hours) chosen from: BME 558; BIOL 592; CS 530.
Biology and Life Science (6-8 credit hours) chosen from: BME 517; BIOL **351; BIOM 507, 508, 509, 510, 514, 515.
Bioinformatics (9 credit hours) chosen from: BME 518; CS 521, 527, 529, 564.
Electives approved by the department.
