Course Overview

Graduates are prepared to solve complex problems in areas such as diagnostic instrumentation, artificial organs, prosthetic devices, rehabilitation, and health care system design and operations, biomechanics, biomaterials, imaging, neuroengineering, tissue engineering, sensors, cellular‐level drug delivery. The doctoral major capitalizes on USF’s strong programs in Engineering and in the Health Sciences as well as the contiguously located H. Lee. Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute, and the James Haley Veterans Administration Hospital.

Students in the Major may choose to concentrate in one of several nationally recognized areas of Biomedical Engineering strength at USF including:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Rehabilitation Engineering
  • Biomechanics and Biomaterials
  • Molecular, Cellular and Tissue Engineering
  • Drug and Gene Delivery
  • Neuroengineering

The Biomedical Engineering Program at USF provides students with an integrated knowledge of engineering, biomedical science and other appropriate disciplines to allow participation in and advancement of the interdisciplinary field of Biomedical Engineering. The major also facilitate biomedical engineering research at USF through interactions with USF faculty and with industry and other health care institutions and catalyzes the growth of biomedical product companies throughout the region by the development, dissemination, and commercialization of new biomedical technologies. Overall, the major strives to develop and promote technologies and processes that will lead to better health care and improved quality of life.
