Master of Science in Biomedical Engineering

Biomedical Engineering is the use of engineering principles and technology to solve problems in medicine and biology. The goal of biomedical engineering research is to understand living systems and develop new and improved devices and products for medicine and biology. SBME graduate degrees provide an in-depth biomedical engineering education for students seeking careers in industry, medicine, business and other fields related to biotechnology.The University of Oklahoma (OU) has a rich research history in biomedical engineering based on widespread collaborative activities between professors on the Norman and Health Sciences Center campuses. The origin of biomedical engineering at OU goes back several decades with early research toward creating an artificial liver and pioneering work in the use of thermography for mammograms. Continued research has led to important discoveries in the areas of blood substitutes, electrocardiology, implantable devices, software development, and tissue engineeringBiomedical engineers have a wide range of job opportunities and can include a hospital based practice as a clinical engineer, an industrially based engineer designing medical devices, a technical sales engineer, or a staff engineer in a medical research laboratory. Biomedical engineers find themselves in wide variety of specialties which may organize around various diseases, such as cancer or organ systems, or technology, such as biomaterials or imaging.
