Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering
Lawrence Technological University’s Biomedical Engineering program combines intensive course work in engineering with a strong background in biology, chemistry, physiology, instrumentation, and other subjects pertinent to the medical field. Designed for high school graduates as well as working professionals with a degree in a related field, the biomedical engineering program can prepare you for one of the fastest growing ocupations in the health care field today.
Students benefit from presentations given by researchers, industry and health care professionals, and consultants, and they study the “best practices” for the industry, such as responsible conduct in research, the protection of human subjects, and professional behavior. They also complete several entrepreneurial courses and a two semester design project sequence that allows them to combine theory and practice.

Senior Project Involves Running Bones Over with a Train
Dr. Meyer with William Addis, a senior in biomedical engineering , performed femur fracture testing on April 18. They did 12 experiments at Henry Ford Museum with Matt Goodwin the Roundhouse Supervisor. He drove a diesel train over several bones...read more.
For nearly 26 million Americans living with diabetes, using a glucose meter to check their blood sugar levels – often several times a day – is as routine as brushing their teeth or taking a shower. Monitoring and tracking these levels and compiling the patient’s history are critical to the proper control of diabetes...read more.
Each year an estimated 200,000 people in the United States suffer painful and potentially debilitating anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears, and the number is growing annually. The ACL connects the femur and tibia in the knee and provides stabilization during motion. While ACL reconstruction restores knee stability, the joint mechanics are altered...read more.
Sports-related injuries – typically to the knee and ankle – represent an estimated 10 to 19 percent of all injuries treated in emergency rooms. For some athletes, such injuries can signal the end of a season or, in severe cases, even a career...read more.
