At ASU, we offer a rigorous program in biomedical engineering with opportunities for students to be involved in research, entrepreneurship, healthcare delivery, biomedical device design and global health. Our faculty deliver specialized expertise in neuroscience and neurorehabilitation, biosensor design, tissue engineering, imaging, synthetic biology and biomaterial engineering. In addition to research, our faculty are devoted to providing students with innovative instruction in the classroom and the laboratory. We integrate students into the field from day one by emphasizing participation in research from the freshman year onwards. As a leading state university we have the resources and research networks to promote our students by providing access to collaborators in research, medicine and industry from around the world.
Biomedical engineering is expected to have the highest job growth of any occupation over the next decade. Biomedical engineers create solutions to a variety of problems in medicine and technology:
- developing ways to treat brain aneurysms
- monitoring blood glucose levels without a skin puncture
- enhancing recovery from neurological disorders
- identifying an unhealthy kidney before disease onset
- engineering sensors to measure and change brain neurochemistry
Biomedical engineers work at the interface of technology and medicine on challenges that are critical to the advancement of health and scientific discovery.
Our undergraduates are nationally recognized for their creative projects and dedication to research. They do summer internships in some of the best labs and companies in the world. They win Marshall scholarships, are featured in Inc. Magazine for their entrepreneurial work and are working in developing regions to deliver safe drinking water. Our students gain the educational experience and practical skills they need to pursue careers in the biomedical industry, go on to medical school and enter doctoral programs. There are few other places where you can get started so early, with so many resources, in an exciting, interdisciplinary career that makes a difference.
