Master of Engineering in Biomedical Engineering
Stevens is a leader in the field of biomedical engineering, engaging in visionary research and collaboration with researchers in medical centers, the biotech industry and government. Our graduates are leaders in academia, industries related to medicine, biotechnology and in newly emerging fields based on biological technology.
The Biomedical Engineering graduate program is designed to foster independent scholarly work while providing flexibility to accommodate each student’s interests and career goals. Each full time M.Eng. student is required to complete 30 credits of graduate work that includes 6 required credits of core course work. The additional 24 graduate credits of course work can be tailored to aid the students’ research project or their professional development goals and may include a 9 credit thesis.
In lieu of the 9-credit thesis, students can elect to do a 6-credit research or design project, plus 3 credits of additional graduate course work. The project must be approved by the BME program director and have the official support of the students company. Wherever possible, research and design projects will include an outside member of the thesis committee from the medical or biotech industry.
Students may be admitted to the M.Eng. program in BME with undergraduate engineering degrees other than BME. For students admitted with a non-BME degree, prerequisite courses may be required that may not carry graduate credit. The prerequisite courses will be determined on an individual basis in consultation with the BME graduate program advisor. In any case, all graduate BME students are required to complete the following core courses:
