Engineers solve problems and make things. Biomedical engineers design and develop medical devices, equipment, and systems that aim at improving patient healthcare, such as prosthetics, implants, wearables, medical imaging devices,artificial organs, and assistive software.
Biomedical engineers use concepts from multiple engineering disciplines as well as biological sciences, which requires motivation and a passion for learning, similar to other engineering degrees. Our Innovation-Based Learning model helps students to master these diverse concepts through student-led design projects every semester. As students apply concepts to relevant problems in the field, they are able to contextualize and cement the classroom knowledge.
The UND biomedical engineering program offers courses covering specialized areas such as:
- Medical IoT Devices
- Bioinstrumentation
- Neuroengineering
- Bioinformatics
- Cardiovascular Engineering
- Biomaterials/Bioprinting
- Biomechanics
To be a successful engineer, you must enjoy wrestling with difficult problems, trying multiple approaches, and persisting through failure. Biomedical engineers will seldom work alone. Communication, teamwork, and collaboration skills are also critical. Finally, problem-solving and data-analysis skills in the areas of chemistry, biology, and engineering are important.
UND is a public institution offering affordable tuition rates and multiple scholarship opportunities. All online Biomedical Engineering degree students pay the say affordable tuition rates regardless of their legal residency. Visit our Tuition & Aid page for details.
Through the BioInnovation Zone, students have the opportunity to work for industry partners during both the school year and the summer. A paid industry position helps students to build their resume, develop professional skills, and offset the cost of tuition.
