The Medical Devices track applies engineering to medicine. It involves designing, validating, and manufacturing instruments, apparatus, implants, machines, tools, in vitro reagents, or similar articles that diagnose, prevent, mitigate, treat, or cure disease or other conditions and achieve this through physical, structural, or mechanical action within or on the body.
Applications include surgical and medical instruments; surgical implants and supplies; electro-mechanical and electro-therapeutic devices; in vitro diagnostic clinical kits; dental, auditory, and IC devices; and irradiation and imaging devices.
For more information about Medical Devices course requirements, please visit the program requirements section of the biomedical engineering catalog and scroll down to the table labeled "Total Program Hours" and find the "Medical Devices" entry in the table.
