Beyond the core, students take 4 electives that provide depth in a particular area or breadth across biomedical engineering. Students wishing more depth may focus on:Biomechanics and RehabilitationBiomaterials and Regenerative MedicineImaging and BiophotonicsCareer pathsOpportunities for students to engage in career development programs within and beyond the classroom are plentiful and can be tailored to a student’s unique interests. Students commonly broaden their perspectives by participating in one or more of the following:Research - When undergraduate students conduct research in our department, it provides them with hands-on experience in modern laboratories. It also allows students to develop in-depth knowledge in a particular field in which they’re interested, and it can provide them with a glimpse at what awaits them in graduate study.Co-operative Engineering Education Program (Co-op) – an opportunity for engineering students to alternate periods of academic study with full-time engineering experience in industry.Study Abroad – Our students take advantage of the plethora of study abroad programs offered by Northwestern. One that is of particular interest to biomedical engineering students the Global Healthcare Technologies program, designed exclusively for engineering students.Special Programs – Please see this extensive list that includes numerous certificate and minor opportunities as well as non-academic optionsBME-focused clubs – Many students to engage with a BME-related club to provide service to the department and their peers or to extend their skills in the design of medical devices.
