Undergraduate Programs
A Foundation Fit for Tomorrow’s Emerging Leaders
Our undergraduate programs combine a solid foundation of engineering theory and fundamentals with hands-on research and design. With a focus on supporting transdisciplinary collaboration, entrepreneurship, and an inclusive environment for all of our students, the Department of Biomedical Engineering and Mechanics creates an educational experience fit for tomorrow’s emerging leaders.
Undergraduate Degree Offerings
Student researchers from the Socha Lab in the Department of Biomedical Engineering and Mechanics perform testing involving gliding snakes on the lawn at the German Club. Professor Jake Socha is an organismal biomechanist studying the relationship between form and function in animals, with a broad range of projects involving locomotion, breathing and feeding. Current work focuses on gliding flight in snakes.
Undergraduate Admissions
All prospective undergraduate students should apply for admission to Virginia Tech through the university’s undergraduate application portal.
Once admitted, first-year and transfer engineering students must enroll in the general engineering program through the Department of Engineering Education. After specific course requirements are complete, students then become eligible to declare any of the 15 undergraduate degree-granting engineering majors offered at Virginia Tech, including biomedical engineering.
