An ABET-accredited 129-credit degree applying engineering to medicine — anatomy and physiological modelling, biomechanics, molecular cell biology, biomedical circuits and signal processing — with an embedded Pre-Med track and a senior design project. Prepares graduates for medical-device development, biomedical research and medical school.
Four-year programme blending engineering with biology and physiology, using biomechanics, biomedical-signals and molecular-biology laboratories, a summer internship, and a two-semester senior design project; a Pre-Med track is available.
SAT Math >=700 or strong AP scores strengthen an application; the foundation year has been discontinued (conditional admits take remedial courses).
Graduates work in medical devices, healthcare technology, biotechnology and clinical engineering, or progress to medical or graduate school via the Pre-Med track.
Accredited by the ABET Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) and licensed by the UAE Commission for Academic Accreditation (CAA).
