Master of Science in Biomedical Engineering - Instrumentation

Biomedical engineering is one of the fastest growing fields of engineering and the knowledge and skills of persons with advanced degrees are in high demand. Students from diverse fields of biomedical sciences and engineering can find high impact careers following a graduate degree.The video below from the National Science Foundation describes one such career path: "A student interested in helping people and improving the lives of others through better health care and medicine has a lot of career options, and one such option is in the field of engineering Biomedical engineering combines biology, medicine and engineering to advance human health. Michelle Khine talks about her work as a biomedical engineer, life beyond the lab, and inspiration from some unexpected sources (like Yoda and Shrinky Dinks).Instrumentation is pervasive in biomedical applications. Sensors are used to understand physiological functions in healthy and diseased states, develop novel diagnostics, detect pathogens, monitor patient health, and evaluate treatment outcomes. Stimulation is applied to control disease or to restore function. World-class research in the Purdue Instrumentation group within the Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering is addressing all aspects of instrumentation design and application, from the engineering underlying device development and optimization, to the basic science required to develop novel experimental approaches for testing instrumentation and evaluating (patho)physiology, to the signal processing and biostatistics required to analyze data efficiently for clinical application.
