Consistent with the mission of Penn State University and the College of Engineering, the Penn State Bachelor of Science program in Biomedical Engineering aims to create world-class engineers who will, after graduation, contribute to social and economic development through the application of engineering to the solution of problems in medicine and biology.

Program Outcomes (Student Outcomes)

Upon graduation from the Biomedical Engineering program, students will have:

• An ability to apply knowledge of advanced mathematics, (including differential equations and statistics), science, and engineering to solve problems at the interface of engineering and biology

• An ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data from living and non-living systems

• An ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability

• An ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams

• An ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems
