BACCALAUREATE PROGRAM

This program leads to the degree, Bachelor of Science in Engineering with a major in Bioengineering

College of Engineering and Computing

MIAMI UNIVERSITY

2014-2015

Bioengineering students learn to apply the concepts of chemistry, biochemistry, biological science, and

mathe-matics to solve problems in process engineering, product development, and research and development.

Within the bioengineering curriculum, students choose among various areas of concentrations by judicious

selec-tion of required and elective courses. Areas of concentraselec-tion include Bioinformatics and Computaselec-tional Biology,

Biomedical Engineering, Bioprocessing, and Pre-medicine. Nationally, a large number of Bioengineering

gradu-ates enter professional schools such as medicine (19% according to one survey). About one-third of gradugradu-ates go

on to pursue graduate studies.

Opportunities are available to obtain valuable work experience and financial assistance in the co-op or internship

programs. Professional work experience before graduation enables students to be more valuable to prospective

employers. Students may also choose to work with their professors on research projects (REU – Research

Experi-ence for Undergraduates). The REU program provides for financial assistance to conduct research.

The Bachelor of Engineering with a major in Bioengineering) curriculum is arranged similarly to traditional

engineering programs where foundation courses are taken during the first two years, engineering science courses

occupy the second and third years, and bioengineering and the capstone engineering design courses are

concen-trated in the final year. A suggested 4-year curriculum is described in the following pages.

Each student is encouraged to take the Fundamentals of Engineering exam prior to graduation, preferably in the

senior year. The success at this has implication regarding gaining license as a professional engineer.

Master’s Programs

The College of Engineering and Computing offers several master’s degrees. Students have an

oppor-tunity to earn a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree in five years by counting some courses in

both programs. If you are interested in pursuing such a program, please begin talking to an advisor

MME 213 COMPUTATIONAL METHODS IN ENGINEERING (3) Study and use of fundamental computational methods as applied

to engineering analysis and design. Computational methods are ex-plored via discussion of errors and approximations, iterative methods of solving equations. Graphical methods are explored via 3-D model-ing with emphasis on assembly and design includmodel-ing limit dimension-ing and geometric tolerancdimension-ing. Prerequisite: CEC 101 and MME 102.

MME 360 DESIGN OF MEDICAL DEVICESThis course gives the student a broad overview of the design process to bring medical devices to market. In addition to the lectures, team projects will be assigned to evaluate an existing medical device. A student team is to provide a quantitative analysis of the principles of operation and to study and report on regulatory pathways and patents for the device. The students should acquire basic of language of medicine and surgical procedures. Prerequisite: MME 312, MME 311, Co-requisite: MME 315
