University of Connecticut - Avery Point

About

Applicants to the Ph.D. program are expected to demonstrate outstanding ability and to show, based on their record of previous scholarship and experience, that they are likely to do superior creative work in their respective fields. Holding a master’s degree from this or any other institution does not render the applicant automatically admissible to a doctoral program. In general, doctoral applicants must meet all admission requirements for the BME M.S. degree and must present evidence that they are capable of doing independent work of distinction. Exceptional students with a B.S. degree may be directly admitted into the BME Ph.D. program.

About

Students whose primary training is in engineering can prepare themselves for entrance into one of the biomedical fields by completing a program leading to a master’s degree in biomedical engineering. The program also offers biology and chemistry students a means of achieving the mathematical, engineering, and instrumentation skills necessary for a career in biomedical engineering after completing remedial coursework. Master’s degrees may be earned under either of two plans, as determined by the advisory committee. The first plan (Plan A) emphasizes research, while the second (Plan B) requires a comprehensive understanding of a more general character. In either case, advisory committees may require more than the minimum number of credits.

About

The students will be able an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics. An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors. An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences, and the ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.
