Biomedical Engineering Objectives and Outcomes

Educational objectives

Trine graduates will be able to apply their acquired knowledge of biological, medical and engineering disciplines. In addition, they will exhibit technical competency, effective communication skills and be a valued team member.

Within a few years after graduation:

  1. Graduates will successfully advance in their field and continue to grow professionally and personally.
  2. Graduates will contribute to their field through innovation and technology development by solving open-ended problems.
  3. Graduates will provide leadership and service to society while maintaining ethical principles and social responsibilities.

Student outcomes

As specified for accreditation, the biomedical engineering program assures the students will have:

  1. An ability to identify, formulate and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science and mathematics.
  2. An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with considerations of public health, safety and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental and economic factors.
  3. An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
  4. An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informal judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental and societal contexts.
  5. An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative environment, establish goals, plan tasks and meet objectives.
  6. An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
  7. An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
