What is Biomedical Engineering? A biomedical engineer uses traditional engineering expertise to analyze and solve problems in biology and medicine, providing an overall enhancement of health care.

UW’s History Research dates as far back as the late 1950's. Professors were a part of other departments Department established in 1999

BME Applications Bioinstrumentation Biomaterials Biomechanics

Applications, cont’d. Cellular, Tissue, and Genetic Engineering Clinical Engineering Medical Imaging –CT, X-Ray –MRI –PET Orthopedic Bioengineering

Applications, cont’d. Rehabilitation Engineering –RERC on AMI works to give everyone access to healthcare services and therapies Systems Physiology Ergonomics Patent Law

After Graduation Industry (~50%) –Work for a company in academic focus Medical School (~25%) –High acceptance rate compared to other majors Graduate School (~25%) –To continue research –Advanced degree leading to academic career

How do I get there?: The Academics A Biomedical Engineer is a Jack- of-all-Trades –Mathematics (4 courses) Basic and Advanced Differential Equations Linear Algebra –Chemistry (3 courses) General Analytical Organic –Physics (3 courses) Statics and Dynamics Electromagnetism –Biology (4 courses) Zoology Physiology With diversity comes academic rigors May apply to the major after completing Statics, Calculus, and General Chemistry
