Biomedical Engineering

Preparing students and researchers to create devices and solutions that improve quality of life.

Biomedical engineering is an emerging field, filled with exciting opportunities. Biomedical engineers combine their design and problem-solving skills with their knowledge of medical and biological sciences to advance health care treatments and make people's lives better.

The Biomedical Engineering program combines strengths of North Dakota’s research universities, North Dakota State University and the University of North Dakota. The BME programs are offered jointly by NDSU's College of Engineering, UND’s College of Engineering and Mines and UND’s School of Medicine and Health Sciences.
