Our Biomechanics concentration will give you a competitive advantage in the biomedical industry. Available to both undergraduate and graduate engineering students, this five-course concentration covers topics in tissue engineering, the strength and structural behavior of biocompatible materials, and the application of solid and fluid mechanics to biological systems in health and disease.
The concentration prepares graduates for careers in research, design, and manufacturing in the areas of prosthetics, artificial organs, and rehabilitation devices.
