Biomedical engineering is one of the newest specialties within engineering.  Engineers are increasingly involved with the development of innovative methods for diagnosis, and treatment of diseases and injuries. Various departments affiliated with the center provide opportunities for M.S. and Ph.D. research in Biomedical Engineering. These departments offer competitive Teaching Assistantships and Research Assistantships in the range of $10,000 to $20,000 per year. In addition, graduate tuition is waived in many circumstances. This center acts a liason to help graduate studens find faculty with similar research interests. If you are interested in Biomedical Engineering research, please feel free to contact individual faculty affiliated with the center. If you have a particular department in mind, and are looking for information on biomedical research in that department, please email one of the persons listed below:
 

Chemical Engineering	Dr. Stelios Andreadis
Computer Science and Engineering	Dr. Deborah Walters
Electrical Engineering	Dr. Ping-chin Cheng
Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering	Dr. Hui Meng

 In addition to opportunities within the School of Engineering, students also participates in the Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP), which is administered by the School of Medicine. Here, students  simultaneously pursue the MD and Ph.D. degrees. Students admitted to the MSTP program receive a stipend as well as a waiver of all graduate school and medical school tuition.

GRADUATE COURSES
A partial list of graduate level courses in the general area of Biomedical Engineering at the University is provided here. This list is designed to help graduate students select courses during graduate studies. Of course, each student must satisfy individual department requirements in order to receive a degree from that department.
