The Biomedical Engineering program within the College of Engineering at WSU integrates physical, chemical and mathematical sciences with engineering principles for the study of biology, medicine, behavior or health. Through laboratory experiences that bridge multiple disciplines, we develop materials, processes, implants, devices and informatics approaches for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disease, for patient rehabilitation and for improving health.
About the Program
Fueled by our aging society, the demand for bioengineers is increasing, a trend expected to continue for years. Students in the Biomedical Engineering program at WSU benefit from the university's applied learning model, which provides students with real-world experience through paid internships, research and industry partnerships. Graduates of our program go on to graduate studies, medical school or work in industry. Employers of biomedical engineers include pharmaceutical firms, medical equipment manufacturers, hospitals and rehabilitation centers and biomedical research institutes.
