Biomedical engineering is the application of engineering skills, principles, and tools to problems in biology and medicine. The undergraduate program at Louisiana Tech University combines the practical aspects of engineering with biology and medicine to produce an engineer capable of solving special kinds of problems. Biomedical engineers are alert and sensitive to the challenges of designing and using products for living systems and of studying these systems. The program provides medical and biological instruction in fundamental engineering courses. The biological training is integrated with the engineering training by means of a series of coordinated biomedical engineering courses taught throughout the curriculum. Students obtain further depth in engineering or in a field related to their career goals through an additional set of directed electives.
Upon or before graduation, students may complete, with a small number of additional courses, the basic requirements necessary for admission to medical school. The program provides a strong quantitative background for graduates who wish to pursue a future medical career. Each graduate will also be adequately prepared to continue his/her education at the graduate level by pursuing a Master of Science and/or the Doctor of Philosophy degree in Biomedical Engineering. Continued professional education in business, law, and the basic medical sciences is also possible.
