Biomedical Engineering Technology

By providing a firm foundation in biological sciences as well as core competencies required of electronics engineering technologists, DeVry's Biomedical Engineering Technology program (Biomedical Technology program in New York) prepares graduates to enter the work force as technical professionals with competencies in bioengineering processes and tools. BMET graduates play essential roles on the biomedical team, typically designing and implementing hardware and software solutions to biological or medical problems. The curriculum is applications-oriented in the areas of physiological bioinstrumentation and informatics, and provides graduates with the knowledge and skills needed to function effectively in multidisciplinary teams, adapt to changes in technical environments throughout their careers and progress in their professional responsibilities.

Program objectives

Program educational objectives are the skills and abilities graduates are expected to demonstrate during the first few years of employment. BMET program educational objectives include:

• Achieving employment in a biomedical technology-related position with appropriate title and compensation.
• Demonstrating biomedical engineering technology-related problem-solving skills.
• Functioning effectively in diverse and multidisciplinary teams.
• Communicating effectively with both technical and nontechnical audiences.
• Adapting to changes in technology through continuous personal and professional development.
• Being capable of assuming increasing professional responsibility.
• Conducting all professional activities with integrity, and demonstrating a sense of social and environmental responsibility.

Program outcomes are the skills and abilities students are expected to demonstrate at graduation. Program outcomes for the BMET program include:

• Using principles of engineering, mathematics and science to solve technical problems.
• Applying engineering principles to biological and physiological problems.
• Analyzing applications of electronic and computer systems to the life sciences using appropriate test equipment, and applying results of the analysis to improve designs or methodologies in a manner consistent with the related regulatory environment.
• Successfully designing, developing and implementing a meaningful project taking regulatory, safety, ethical, social, economic and technical constraints into consideration.
• Communicating effectively both orally and in writing.
• Working effectively in a team environment.
• Developing research and problem-solving skills to support lifelong personal and professional development.
• Evaluating the broader effects of technology, and identifying connections between technology and economics, politics, culture, ethical responsibility, social structure, the environment and other areas.
