At Marymount University, our Biomedical Engineering bachelor\u2019s degree brings together engineering and medicine to improve health care in the Washington, DC, area and around the globe. Our hands-on courses for Biomedical Engineering students are taught by expert professionals, feature small classes with personalized attention, and offer various opportunities to conduct groundbreaking\u2014and life-changing\u2014undergraduate research.<\/p>\n
When you graduate from our on-campus Biomedical Engineering bachelor\u2019s degree, you\u2019ll have the knowledge and know-how of various design and implementation technologies to succeed in an ever-growing field of jobs for biomedical engineers.<\/p>\n
At Marymount, courses for Biomedical Engineering majors equip you with the knowledge and confidence to use technology and medicine to improve human health and well-being. You\u2019ll build a firm foundation in computer, electrical, and mechanical engineering as you:<\/p>\n
Our faculty members are expert educators and leaders in research, including designing 3D printable prosthetic limbs and assistive devices that are built for the low-resource regions of the world. They will be there to work with you in the classroom, collaborate with you in their game-changing research, and prepare you to succeed in jobs for biomedical engineers.<\/p>\n
In your courses for Biomedical Engineering majors, you will utilize traditional and additive manufacturing technologies and basic electronics throughout their studies. Gain hands-on experience with resin 3D printers and 3D bioprinters as you utilize our digital fabrication, electronics, and virtual reality design and testing labs. With access to these cutting-edge tools, our Biomedical Engineering bachelor\u2019s degree students have created custom electronic wearables, body-powered prosthetics, and more.<\/p>\n
As part of your Biomedical Engineering program requirements, you will complete freshman and senior capstone projects. While your freshman capstone project will introduce you to the full engineering design process\u2014from ideation through development and testing\u2014your senior capstone project will allow you to demonstrate growth as an engineer as you work with a clinical or industry partner on a cutting-edge venture.<\/p>\n
Unlike other Biomedical Engineering bachelor\u2019s degree programs, at Marymount you\u2019ll benefit from small courses for Biomedical Engineering. In fact, our student-to-faculty ratio is 10:1. That means you\u2019ll have robust personal attention throughout your studies and as you prepare for jobs for biomedical engineers.<\/p>\n
More than 2 billion individuals will need at least one assistive product in their lives, according to the World Health Organization. Because more than 90% of these individuals will lack access to such assistive technologies, Marymount puts a unique emphasis on low-cost assistive tools to meet this global need.<\/p>\n
Jobs for biomedical engineers continue to see growth, with the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics expecting a 5% increase in career opportunities over the next decade.<\/p>\n
Jobs for Biomedical Engineers<\/strong><\/p>\n Biomedical Engineering program graduates can expect to find employment in:<\/p>\n Additionally, salary outlooks for jobs for biomedical engineers remain strong. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median pay for biomedical engineers is $91,410\u2014significantly higher than salaries for many other occupations. That means, as a Marymount graduate, you\u2019ll be entering a growing, rewarding, and purposeful career path.<\/p>\n At Marymount, our 120-credit-hour Biomedical Engineering bachelor\u2019s degree starts with a core liberal arts curriculum. You\u2019ll then complete 10 foundational courses for Biomedical Engineering studies and six additional electives. You can expect to take coursework in:<\/p>\n In obtaining a degree in engineering from Marymount University, students will develop:<\/span><\/p>\n Our program educational objectives are for students to use these abilities to G.I.V.E. back to their worldwide community by:<\/span><\/p>\n Engineering in general is a rapidly growing field, particularly in the DC\/MD\/VA region.\u00a0 Anticipated job growth and salaries in the area of mechanical and biomedical engineering are promising.\u00a0 Mechanical engineers in the region can anticipate 4% job growth while biomedical engineers are anticipated to experience 5 % job growth from 2019-2029, according to the bureau of labor and statistics (<\/span>Bioengineers and Biomedical Engineers : Occupational Outlook Handbook<\/span><\/a>).\u00a0 Additionally, mechanical and biomedical engineers command competitive salaries in the area with 2019 median pay for a mechanical engineer in the region being $117,570 annually and biomedical engineer salaries equating to $91,410 per year.\u00a0 This is significantly higher than the total median across all occupations tracked by BLS ($39,810).\u00a0 Bioengineering, in particular, is a particularly high area for employment, with the metropolitan DC\/VA\/MD\/WV region being the third highest area of employment in the United States for bioengineers, with a mean annual wage locally of $114,360 and the tenth highest region of employment for mechanical engineers, with a mean annual wage of $11,750.\u00a0 In addition, the state of Maryland is the state with the fifth highest concentration of jobs for bio\/biomedical engineers in the nation with a location quotient equal to 2.36 (where a quotient of greater than 1 indicates a higher share of employment than average).\u00a0 Students with either a mechanical or a biomedical engineering degree will be able to pursue advanced degrees or employment in a diverse range of high-growth industries such as healthcare, biomedical device design, wearable technology, prosthetics\/orthotics, biomaterials, computational modeling, data sciences, etc.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Engineering requires extensive work with advanced modeling and simulation software. All required software will be available for students to use in the engineering classrooms. Most modern computers should suffice, but for the most optimized experience the program recommends purchasing a laptop that meets or exceeds the specifications below.<\/span><\/p>\n If you have additional questions, please reach out to Dr Eric Bubar (<\/span>eric.bubar@marymount.edu<\/span><\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n\n
