Biomedical Engineering Degree

Create the next generation of medical devices by bridging the gap between engineering and medicine. From amazing medical technology featured in sci-fi movies, to the futuristic-like devices in today's most advanced hospitals, you'll fuse engineering to imagine tomorrow's innovations.

You'll be a part of collaborative biomedical team where you will design, build and test the next generation of healthcare solutions. Within the College of Engineering & Mines, you'll gain the expertise to help create new medical devices that improve the healthcare outcomes of lives all around the world.

In our program, you'll learn biomedical topics in a variety of areas:

• Medical Internet of Things (Medlot)
• Bio-instrumentation 
• Biomedical Signal and Image Processing
• Neuroengineering
• Biomedical imaging
• Bioinformatics
• Biomechanics
• Other emerging biomedical engineering areas

You'll have the opportunity to work on technology with real world application. For example, SafetySpect Inc. – a California-based company – is testing its handheld ultraviolet light disinfection system at UND biomedical engineering labs. The U.S. Air Force and the global food-services industry are just two industries interested in this new technology. 

Earn your online Biomedical Engineering degree while you live and work in your community. You’ll receive the convenience of online learning with the personal contact and connection of being with classmates. Our online tools offer ways of communicating across distances, connecting to others and their ideas, and presenting information.

UND offers the only online bachelor's of Biomedical Engineering degree in North Dakota. Plus, it's rated a best value degree. Compare the cost of UND's online Biomedical Engineering degree. You'll see UND is lower cost than similar four-year doctoral universities.

Campus Visit for Online Biomedical Engineering Degree

While the majority of coursework is online, you’ll get to come to campus for 1 - 2 weeks during the summer to meet your professors and complete the laboratory portions of the biomedical engineering program. Your time on the UND campus is designed to integrate, extend and apply the knowledge you’ve learned during your online courses. Your campus visit will include:

• Hands-on biomedical engineering labs or simulations.
• Opportunities to interact with faculty and other students in biomedical engineering.

The hands on experience necessary for biomedical engineering can only be gained on your campus visit, where you work over a short period of time with dedicated faculty and teaching assistants to build experience and master the job skills you need.

SUMMER LAB REQUIREMENTS

Flexible Online Biomedical Engineering Courses

With asynchronous classes, you do not attend class at a set time. If you need to balance work, family, and other commitments, this flexible format allows you to learn anywhere at any time.

Depending on your instructor, you’ll learn online through:

• Lesson modules
• Streaming video content
• Virtual libraries
• Posted lectures
• Online simulations

There will be times when you interact with your instructor and classmates through online discussion boards, polls, and chat rooms.

Your learning revolves around materials that can be accessed on your own time within a set time frame. However, this is not a self-paced course. You’ll have structure and deadlines.

Engineering Club for Online Students

The Society of Distance Engineering Students is a club for online engineering students. You'll have the chance to meet and work with students who study online and those who attend classes on UND's campus. Even though you might be far apart, you can still study and work together easily.
