Doctor of Philosophy in Biomedical Engineering

University of Central Florida

Biomedical engineering continuously advances the quality of human life. Engineers in this field design and develop life-changing devices such as prosthetic limbs and artificial organs. They use their sense of problem solving to create innovative equipment for surgical procedures, rehabilitation and medical diagnosis. Their job is to engineer new machines and technology that revolutionize the field of healthcare. At the graduate level, UCF offers a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering through the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. The program is designed for students who: Earned a B.S. degree in engineering or biomedical engineering and seek post-baccalaureate training and research experience with the option of earning an M.S.BME along the way. Earned an M.S. degree in engineering or biomedical engineering and seek further graduate-level training and research experience in biomedical engineering. Students will gain a deeper understanding of biomechanics and biostructures as well as the ability to engage in advanced engineering research, analysis, design and experimentation. Graduates of the program will be instilled with the professional skills necessary to gain employment in the biomedical engineering industry or in academia.
