INTRODUCTION Biomedical Engineering (BME) or Medical Engineering is applying engineering principles and design concepts to medicine and biology for healthcare purposes (e.g., diagnostic or therapeutic). This field seeks to close the gap between engineering and medicine, combining the design and problem-solving skills of engineering with medical, biological sciences to advance health care treatment, including diagnosis, monitoring, and therapy. Gannon University Graduate program focuses on Biomechanics, Bio-Mechatronics, and Biomaterials.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES: The Master’s Program is designed to produce graduates who: 1. Advanced knowledge and skills appropriate to Biomedical Engineering. • Analyze data and apply critical thinking skills to identify bio-medical problems, manage risk, or propose data-driven recommendations or solutions 2. Knowledge or application of ethical standards within Biomedical Engineering. • demonstrate appropriate leadership skills while recognizing and assessing moral and ethical components and complexity of challenges faced by the medical and engineering community 3. Professional communication and disseminated information appropriate for Biomedical Engineering. • Display competence with oral, written and graphical communications, appropriate for professional clinical and engineering environments 4. Contributions, such as service, to the Biomedical Engineering profession and/or community.
