Minor in Biomedical Engineering
About This Program
To receive a Minor in Biomedical Engineering a student must complete at least 18 hours in bioengineering courses listed below with a grade of C or better in each. Admission to the minor program in Biomedical Engineering (BE) requires 1) a minimum GPA of 2.25 derived from courses completed at UTA and 2) approvals from the undergraduate advisor of Bioengineering and the student’s home department. Upon admission to the program, check with the BE undergraduate advisor for advising and for enrollment in courses.
Competencies
- Upon completion, students will demonstrate skills in applying principles of engineering to solve problems in the areas of biology, human physiology and clinically relevant problems;
- Upon completion, students will demonstrate skills in solving biomedical engineering problems, including those associated with the interaction between living and non-living systems;
- Upon completion, students will demonstrate skills in analyzing, modeling, designing and realizing biomedical engineering devices, systems, components, or processes.
