BME Undergraduate Student Guide
The BME Undergraduate Student Guide is an aid for students who are currently enrolled in the Department of Biomedical Engineering and Mechanics (BEAM) in fulfilling the requirements for a B.S. in Biomedical Engineering (BME), as well as provide information for individuals who may be interested in becoming BME majors. This guide should be considered as a supplement and in no way is intended to supersede any statements in the Undergraduate Catalog, statements from the Dean of Engineering Academic Affairs Office, or information from the University Registrar.
