Electrical Engineering Major: Biomedical Engineering Option (B.S.E.E.)
Electrical Engineering Major: Biomedical Engineering Option (B.S.E.E.)
The Biomedical Engineering (BME) Option is intended to provide the core of knowledge expected of a computer and/or electrical engineer to provide engineering services in the biomedical field. Electrical and/or computer engineers with this option in biomedical engineering combine engineering principles with medical and biological sciences to design and create equipment, devices, computer systems, and software used in healthcare. The BME option is embedded in both the Electrical Engineering (EE) program and the Computer Engineering (CE) program.

Curriculum & Requirements
In addition to Discovery Program requirements, the department has a number of grade-point average and course requirements.
- Any electrical engineering major whose cumulative grade-point average in ECE courses is less than 2.0 during any three semesters will not be allowed to continue as an electrical engineering major.
- Electrical engineering majors must achieve a 2.0 grade-point average in ECE courses as a requirement for graduation.
To make an exception to any of these departmental requirements based on extenuating circumstances, students must petition the department's undergraduate committee. Mindful of these rules, students, with their adviser's assistance, should plan their programs based on the distribution of courses found in the Degree Plan tab.
