The Biomedical Engineering certificate program is a highly interdisciplinary course of study that allows students to focus on biomedical instrumentation, biomedical optics, biomaterials/biotechnology and tissue engineering or other related areas of study.
The Biomedical Engineering Certificate program addresses research, academic, and industry needs through its highly interdisciplinary course of study. Courses are taught by faculty in engineering as well as experienced clinical professionals from Tufts' world-renowned health science schools. Students interested in earning a graduate degree can often apply the certificate courses toward a Tufts master's or doctoral degree in biomedical engineering.
The booming biomedical industry demands skilled professionals whose expertise can cross traditional boundaries of science and engineering. Companies are seeking electrical engineers who understand the medical uses of diagnostic imaging instrumentation, biotechnology professionals with training in tissue engineering to develop tissue implants, and mechanical engineers who are well-versed in biomaterials to design artificial joints.
With this four-course certificate, engineers can launch careers in biomedical instrumentation design. Clinical practitioners and technicians can shift careers to biomedical equipment sales. It is also a useful technology complement for executives, medical professionals, and policy makers interested in the application of technology to the medical, business or legal profession.
