Biomedical engineering is a discipline which integrates the engineering sciences with biology and medicine. The field of biomedical engineering has seen a dramatic escalation in activity over the past 20 years leading to the development of a wide variety of medical devices, medical procedures and a basic understanding of biological processes. Engineering approaches are becoming increasingly important in modern biological and medical research and in the development of new technologies that stem from recent discoveries. The University of Arizona has established strengths in medical and biological engineering with faculty members providing education and research opportunities from nearly every scientific discipline on the campus.
No undergraduate biomedical engineering degrees are offered. The University Committee on Biomedical Engineering coordinates options available to undergraduate students in several colleges at the university. The program educates undergraduates in the field of biomedical engineering through courses, senior design projects and investigator sponsored research projects.
