Applied Biomedical Engineering
Biomedicine is an increasingly important part of health care, and Maryland is at its epicenter. According to a leading management consultant, "Maryland is fast becoming one of the most fertile grounds for the development of the life sciences, particularly the biomedical industry."
EPP prepares practicing engineers and scientists to become an important part of this field and to develop new and much needed biomedical technologies. EPP's Applied Biomedical Engineering program is based on the realization that the key to successful development is in using engineering and applied physics to understand biological and physiological systems. The program trains students to integrate these diverse areas as a basis for innovation. EPP students are prepared for diverse challenges such as determining the molecular bases of life and improving therapeutic and diagnostic techniques. Highlights include:
- Weekday evening and Saturday classes to accommodate busy professionals
- An accomplished faculty, including instructors actively involved in research and development at Hopkins' Applied Physics Laboratory, the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, and the Whiting School of Engineering
- A strong foundation in the life sciences from an engineering perspective
- A wide range of required and elective courses covering mathematical methods, medical sensors and devices, diverse physiological systems, and biomaterials
- No thesis required
Programs offered:
- Master of Science (M.S.)
