Course Overview

Biomedical engineering leverages the vast knowledge base of engineering, biology, and medicine to solve problems focused on health care and the human body. Biomedical engineers design instruments, devices, and software; bring together knowledge from many technical sources to develop new medical procedures; and conduct research needed to solve clinical problems. They often serve as coordinators and big picture problem solvers. By utilizing their extensive backgrounds in engineering, biology, science, and medicine, biomedical engineers are often the bridge that connects the clinical aspect of medicine with the technological understanding of engineering to design, develop, and implement dynamic solutions to health care problems.

Biomedical engineers are intimately involved in the development of devices and techniques to address issues to improve human health. The field is highly multidisciplinary, requiring expertise from a wide range of professionals, and in particular engineers from disciplines as diverse as chemical, electrical, and mechanical engineering. This is true whether in industrial, research, or clinical settings. A successful multidisciplinary team must have at least one member, biomedical engineering, who possesses a comprehensive understanding of the highly variable and intricate nature of the biomedical system of interest, such as the heart or a prosthetic limb. Biomedical engineers must possess the quantitative and analytical engineering skills needed to precisely define the challenge that is being addressed and assess the effectiveness of any plausible solutions.

Entry Requirement 

Admission Requirements:

For all bachelor’s degree programs, a strong performance in a college preparatory program is expected. Generally, this includes 4 years of English, 3-4 years of mathematics, 2-3 years of science, and 3 years of social studies and/or history.

Specific math and science requirements and other recommendations

  • 4 years of math required; including pre-calculus or above  
  • Chemistry and physics required
  • Biology required

The admission process, requirements, and guidelines are the same for all undergraduate students. As an international student, you will also be required to demonstrate English language proficiency, and RIT will consider students at all levels of English language proficiency for admission.

You should  apply for undergraduate admission to be considered for these options:

  • Full university admission: If you meet English language proficiency standards, you will be considered for admission to the academic degree program you choose.
  • Conditional university admission: If you do not meet English language proficiency standards you will be considered for admission, and will need to complete additional courses through RIT’s English Language Center in addition to their academic degree program.
