Biomedical Engineering Technology

The four year Bachelor of Science degree concentration in Biomedical Engineering Technology is designed to prepare hospital-based technologists. Technical instruction places emphasis in six areas:
  1. Inspection, performance testing and calibration of equipment
  2. Instruction, consultation, and medical staff assistance
  3. Equipment installation and modification
  4. Preventive Maintenance
  5. Equipment Repair
  6. Management

To enable the student to carry out the responsibilities and duties of a Biomedical Engineering Technologist, the program provides instruction in mathematical, scientific, and communications skills that allow the graduate to function at a professional level in a modern hospital. The student develops a knowledge of modern electronics and biomedical instrumentation, including the principles on which they work.

Internships

An internship program is provided to help develop the ability to function with confidence andunderstanding in a hospital situation. At the present time, four clinical sites are used for ENTC 4350 Biomedical Internship 1. Students must have transportation to their internship site. Students must also furnish evidence of having met health examination requirements for their internship.

Currently there are adequate clinical sites for student internships. In the event student applications for internships exceed clinical positions available, the faculty reserves the right to initiate selection criteria for the assignment of students.
