Ringkasan program

This program is designed to produce graduates who can identify future applications in the field, analyze current technology capability and synthesize new solutions that extend the state of the art in biomedical applications. Combined expertise in electrical, mechanical and materials engineering, coupled to life sciences platforms will allow graduates to create new tools, processes and implementations that provide solutions to more complex medical and health-related problems. PhD graduates will have the ability to evaluate difficult life sciences-related issues and create solutions of the future. The demand for biomedical engineers is expected to increase by 15 percent a year through 2020, according to the Texas Workforce Commission. The commission projects 350 job openings a year in industry, while many PhD graduates are expected to remain in an academic setting to conduct research. Each program for doctoral study is individually tailored to the student’s background and research objectives by the student’s supervisory committee. The program will require a minimum of 75 semester credit hours beyond the baccalaureate degree. These credits must include at least 18 semester hours of graduate level courses beyond the baccalaureate level in the major concentration. All PhD students must demonstrate competence in the Master's level core courses in their research area. All students must have an academic advisor and an approved plan of study. A research oriented oral qualifying examination (QE) demonstrating competence in the Ph.D. candidate’s research area is required. A student must make an oral presentation based on a review of 2 to 4 papers followed by a question-answer session. A student entering the Ph.D. program with an M.S.B.M.E. must pass this exam within 3 long semesters, and a student entering without an M.S.B.M.E. must pass this exam within 4 long semesters. A student has at most two attempts at this qualifying exam. The exam will be given during the fall and spring semesters. A comprehensive exam consisting of: a written dissertation proposal, a public seminar, and a private oral examination conducted by the Ph.D. candidate’s supervising committee. The dissertation will be defended publicly. The rules for this defense are specified by the Office of the Dean of Graduate Studies. Neither a foreign language nor a minor is required for the Ph.D. However, the student’s supervisory committee may impose these or other requirements that it feels are necessary and appropriate to the student’s degree program.
