Additional Major in Biomedical Technology
Biomedical Technology is for students from non-engineering majors who want Biomedical Engineering training beyond the BME minor. The requirements for the Biomedical Technology additional major program consist of the core, the tracks, and the capstone design course. The core exposes students to basic facets of biomedical engineering to lay a foundation. The tracks allow students to build depth in a specific aspect of biomedical engineering. The capstone design project engages students in teamwork to develop real-world applications. The additional major in Biomedical Technology should be declared at the same time when declaring a primary major or by the second semester of the first year.
Program Requirements
Student majoring in Biomedical Technology must meet three sets of requirements: 1) Biomedical Technology 2) Primary Major 3) CIT General Education sequence. The Quality Point Average (QPA) for courses that count toward the additional major must be 2.00 or higher. No course taken on a pass/fail or audit basis may be counted toward the additional major.
Students interested in declaring the Additional Major in Biomedical Technology (BMT) should contact the Biomedical Engineering Undergraduate Academic Advisor, Kristin Kropf.
