ACCELERATED BS/MS PROGRAM IN BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING
       Qualified students are allowed to earn a Bachelor’s degree in an approved undergraduate discipline and a Master’s degree in Biomedical Engineering (BME) in five years. Students with high school advanced placement credits may require less time. Students will join research teams organized through the Joint Graduate Program in Biomedical Engineering, which is shared by the University of Memphis and The University of Tennessee Health Science Center. Students may apply once they have reached sophomore standing and have completed one semester of course work. In addition to an application form, students must submit one letter of reference and a copy of their transcript to the BME department. Each applicant will be required to complete an interview with a pre-graduate advisor in the BME department. In order to remain in the program past the junior year, students must maintain a minimum GPA of 3.25. Students in their senior year will become eligible to apply for combination senior status, allowing them to take graduate courses in BME. To continue in this program past the B.S., students must submit a “Change of Status” application with Graduate Admissions. Further information may be found at: http://engr.memphis.edu/threetwo.html.

Biomedical Engineering is a broad field that encompasses many areas related to improving human health such as implant devices, tissue engineering/regeneration, electrophysiological signaling, and biosensors and imaging technologies for the prevention, detection, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases. The program integrates physical, chemical, mathematical, and computational sciences and engineering with biology and medicine. The curriculum is designed to prepare graduates for professional practice and to provide a foundation for lifelong learning and professional growth. The course of study begins with a strong foundation in mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, and engineering sciences. Departmental courses during these years build on these foundations to integrate topics into knowledge in biomedical engineering. The upper division years include a block of twenty-six hours (noted as BIOM, Engineering and Technical electives in the typical sequence below) to allow students, with advisor's assistance, the means to tailor study in a focused portion of the discipline and its supporting fields as desired. The elective hours must be upper division courses. Concepts and efforts in engineering design occur throughout the curriculum and culminate in a senior design project.

The educational objectives* of the Biomedical Engineering undergraduate program are:

1. graduates will be prepared for employment as biomedical engineers in industries serving or related to health professions;
2. graduates will be prepared to pursue professional studies;
3. graduates will engage in activities that provide continuing self-development in biomedical engineering and related careers.

* adopted 2 February 2006

The diversity encountered in the profession requires the successful biomedical engineer to have technical and non-technical skills, especially for communication and team efforts. Courses in the humanities and social sciences enhance non-technical skills, and explore the engineer's relationship with, and responsibility to, society. Studies in the sciences and other engineering disciplines enable quicker, sure communication and evaluation when total solutions are sought by multidisciplinary efforts. Materials in engineering ethics and professionalism are essential because our graduates and the field expect to enrich life and provide solutions with known benefits and defined risks.

This curriculum equips typical Biomedical Engineering graduates of the University of Memphis with the skills and perspectives required for success in a variety of professional roles. These include the ability to conduct project design work, to manage projects, to interact successfully with the public, and to pursue advanced study, engineering, business, medicine, law, or other fields if so desired.

Department of Mechanical Engineering
     Mechanical Engineering is a broad field that contains many areas. Students are offered a wide variety of topics that touch on as many of these areas as possible in a balanced four-year program. The curriculum is designed to prepare graduates for professional practice, and to provide a foundation for lifelong learning as well as professional growth. The course of study begins with a strong foundation in mathematics, physical sciences, and engineering sciences, and culminates in a series of synthesis and design courses. These require the student to apply material learned in foundation courses to practical design problems in various areas. Traditional classroom instruction is supplemented with laboratory experiences in four areas. The laboratory courses are designed to develop the student’s knowledge base with a hands-on learning experience. The program educational objectives express expectations of the program graduates' abilities within the first few years after successfully completing this comprehensive curriculum. (1) Graduates entering immediately into professional practice upon graduation are capable of performing duties of an entry-level engineering position. (2) Graduates pursuing graduate studies are capable of successfully completing an advanced degree. (3) Graduates recognize the need for and are capable of pursuing life-long learning.
     The diversity encountered in the profession requires the successful Mechanical Engineer to have technical and non-technical skills. Courses in the humanities and social sciences enhance non-technical skills, and explore the engineer’s relationship with, and responsibility to, society. Students learn that as professionals, they identify with other engineers, and that the welfare of the public is of prime concern. These non-technical courses allow the student to interact and communicate effectively with a wide variety of individuals. One important supplement to this study is a series of lectures on engineering ethics and professionalism.
     This well-rounded curriculum equips typical Mechanical Engineering graduates of the University of Memphis with the skills and perspectives required for success in a variety of professional roles. These include ability to conduct project design work, to manage projects, to interface successfully with the public, to continue their education, to conduct themselves with a professional demeanor, with propriety, and with a comportment that will make them an asset to the profession.
