BSBE Program Educational Objectives:
Wright State’s BME program will produce biomedical engineers who will:
- Objective 1: Engage in a career path in BME or a related field.
- Objective 2: Participate in life-long learning through continuing professional education.
- Objective 3: Work in a team environment, including multidisciplinary teams, and communicate effectively, both in written form and orally.
BSBE Program Learning Outcomes:
- an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics
- an ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors
- an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences
- an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts
- an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives
- an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions
- an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
MSIHE Learning Outcomes:
- Obtain depth in one area of specialization and breadth in complimentary areas.
- Acquire scientific knowledge and research skills to solve problems in their chosen area.
- Prepare for an advanced professional career or further graduate studies.
