The B.S. in Engineering with a Biomedical Concentration lets you bring engineering tools to questions about human health and biological systems. You build a foundation across engineering, mathematics and science, then choose courses that can take you toward medical devices, human movement or biological research. That breadth gives you room to connect technical design with a better understanding of the people a solution is meant to serve.
Engineering with a Biomedical Concentration
You’ll study mechanics, materials, computing and design, with options in anatomy, physiology, bioinstrumentation and imaging, and biophysics. A senior design project gives you the opportunity to bring your engineering and scientific knowledge together.
The B.S. in Engineering with a Biomedical Concentration is a 97 credit hour program. It combines mathematics and science with engineering foundations, design and 24 hours of selected courses that can connect engineering with biology and biomedical technology.
Choose at least one additional course — 4 semester hours
Choose one economics and one ethics course. These courses may count toward the Elon Core Curriculum requirements. Possible options include the following courses. For other courses in this category seek approval of the Chair of the Engineering Department.
Choose from the following courses:
The recommended sequence shows how a full four-year course of study fits together.
You'll work with your advisor to find the right path for you.
Bring engineering to questions about health.
The biomedical concentration fits if you want to understand how a technical solution interacts with the human body. You might be drawn to designing devices, measuring biological signals or improving tools that support movement. You’ll build a broad engineering foundation, then use your course choices to develop a direction. Study elsewhere at Elon can add perspective on human movement, health or the data behind those questions.
There are many combinations of courses that you can add to your degree path, and a wide range of professional opportunities. A few options are here, but talk with your advisor about a combination that fits the direction you're considering.
