Return to: School of Graduate Engineering and Applied Science: Degree Programs
M.E. PROGRAM
The Master of Engineering degree requires completion of BME core course requirements, and has its own required sequence of 30 graded credits of coursework and 2 credits of seminar or leadership coursework (S/U) which together culminate in the specialization in biotechnical empathy and design. An average GPA of at least 3.0 is required for graduation. Students are expected to complete all requirements by May of the second year. A supervised research and design project will be completed and described in a written report to be accepted by the M.E. Program Director. Public presentation of projects throughout the program is critical to the on-going iterative nature of this project-based degree.
COMPLETION OF M.E. PROJECT
Approval: A one to two page proposal will be approved by the Program Director to help the student focus on the intent and scope of the project. The project should exhibit individual thought and represent the culmination of effort from the prior year. It will incorporate best practices within the biomedical design industry, and must include a data science component.
Report/presentations: A written report detailing the project development is required. Public presentations of projects- open to all clinical, academic and industry mentors- will help form the basis of the final grade.
M.E. DEGREE ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENTS
File an M.E. Degree Plan of Study form by the end of the first term.
