Course Details

Course Structure

UM BME offers three unique concentrations for specialization.The three concentrations are: Electrical (E), Mechanical (M), and Premedical (P).The engineering design experience is interwoven in the curriculum throughout the students’ four years of study. The students then enroll in 23 mandatory BME credits (Biomaterials, Biomechanics and Biomedical Measurements, Mathematical Analysis in BME, Biomedical Transport Phenomena, Biomedical Signal Processing and Biomedical Instrumentation) as juniors and seniors. In addition to the above compulsory courses, each student participates in a year-long, 3 credit Senior Design Project. This design experience is a comprehensive project where students pool all knowledge and previous design experience into one major project, integrating the various components of the curriculum. Students prepare written and oral presentations. They also select two or three technical electives to pursue their individual professional interests.

International Exchange & Double Degrees

Undergraduate BME students have the opportunity to participate in the University of Miami’s Study Abroad program coordinated by the University’s Office of International Education and Exchange Programs. This exchange program allows students to complete one semester abroad at a host Institution which partners with the University of Miami.
