Academics
Students play a vital role in advancing the research of the Center for Biomedical Engineering. The point of entry for most such students is graduate research assistantships, undergraduate research positions, and high school outreach programs. Students affiliated with the CBME pursue degree programs in disciplines such as the following:
Within the School of Engineering
- Chemical Engineering
- Mechanical Engineering
- Electrical and Computer Engineering
Within the College of Arts and Sciences
- Physics and Astronomy
- Chemistry
- Biochemistry
- Biology
Within the Health Sciences Center School of Medicine
- Pathology
- Biochemistry & Molecular Biology
- Cell Biology and Physiology
- Molecular Genetics and Microbiology
The wide variety of disciplines described above reflects the highly interdisciplinary nature of biomedical engineering. It is precisely this interdisciplinary approach that many students find exceptionally attractive in choosing biomedical engineering as a scholarly pursuit and as a career.
