The College of New Jersey

What you'll study

The programme integrates foundational engineering topics with subjects specific to bioengineering. Key emphases include:

• Core engineering principles applied to biological systems and physiological modeling.
• Design principles and design control regulations relevant to medical devices.
• Practical laboratory work using advanced software, prototyping and validation tools in dedicated specialty labs.
• A team-based senior design capstone where students design, develop, and test a new or improved medical device following industry approaches.
• Optional faculty-mentored research through the Biomedical Engineering Research Track, allowing 2–4 consecutive semesters of research at 0.5 or 1.0 course units per semester, with up to 2 course units credited toward biomedical electives (summer MUSE participation requires a successful faculty-student application).

Entry requirements

The source material does not list specific admissions criteria on the programme page. Prospective students should consult TCNJ admissions for standard undergraduate entry requirements and any programme-specific expectations.

Career prospects

Graduates are prepared for roles in medical-device companies, healthcare settings such as hospitals and research facilities, or for continued study in medical school or graduate biomedical engineering programs. Recent employer names given by the department include Becton Dickinson, GE Healthcare, Integra, Medtronic and Stryker. Alumni have progressed to graduate schools such as Clemson, Rutgers, Wake Forest, University of Delaware and University of Pennsylvania.

Scholarships & funding angle (general)

The programme page highlights experiential and research opportunities that can support career development—summer internships for hands-on experience and networking, and faculty-mentored research (including the MUSE program) that may enhance scholarship or fellowship competitiveness.
