Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering
Lawrence Tech’s biomedical engineering program combines intensive course work in engineering with a strong background in biology, chemistry, physiology, instrumentation, and other subjects pertinent to the medical field.
Students benefit from presentations given by researchers, industry and health care professionals, and consultants, and they study the “best practices” for the industry, such as responsible conduct in research, the protection of human subjects, and professional behavior. They also complete several entrepreneurial courses and a three semester design project sequence that allows them to combine theory and practice.
The program’s goal not only is to provide students with the skills needed for positions in biomedical engineering, but also to prepare them for positions in traditional areas of engineering as well. The program may also provide excellent preparation for those who wish to go on to medical school or for working professionals who, for a variety of reasons, require expertise in biomedical engineering.

“In biomedical engineering, students can work on interdisciplinary projects. My senior project was sponsored by a company to design and build a concept model of a medical device.” - Jeffrey Ziemba |
