About
As part of Illinois Institute of Technologys mission to provide a distinctive and relevant education that focuses on preparing its students for careers that contribute to solving important problems facing humanity, the Department of Biomedical Engineering is now offering the Master of Science in Medical Devices and Biomaterials. This program will provide the education and training relevant to the design and development of medical devices. Special emphasis is placed on the principles of engineering design methodology, computational and modeling aspects of medical devices, and design and use of biomaterials in medical devices. Graduates of the program will be able to identify design problems related to the construction of biomedical engineering devices; to understand the process involved in the planning, designing, and development of these devices; to build and test prototype biomedical devices; and to have an understanding of the principles of biomaterial design and development. Aligning with Illinois Techs university-wide Health and Wellness research initiative, the medical devices and biomaterials program will provide its graduates with the fundamental knowledge and hands-on experience needed to thrive in the ever-evolving and fast-growing biomedical engineering field.
