The Biomedical Engineering program at Alvernia University prepares students to apply engineering principles to challenges in healthcare, medicine, and human performance. Integrating engineering with biology and health sciences, the program equips students to design, analyze, and improve devices, systems, and processes that support diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation, and patient care.
Students build a strong foundation in mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology, and core engineering sciences while developing knowledge in areas such as human anatomy and physiology, kinesiology, circuits, dynamics, fluid mechanics, and measurement systems. Laboratory and design experiences emphasize hands-on learning, quantitative analysis, and the application of engineering methods to living systems.
Upper-level electives and capstone experiences allow students to deepen their preparation in areas such as biomechanics, biomedical device design, and biomedical device regulation and deployment. Grounded in ethical responsibility and interdisciplinary collaboration, the program prepares graduates for careers in medical devices, rehabilitation engineering, healthcare technology, and related fields, as well as for graduate and professional study.
