Biomedical Engineering Minor Requirements (Class ’10 and beyond)
Minor in Biomedical Engineering
As various fields of medicine and health care increasingly depend upon advances in technology, graduates who possess combined expertise in engineering principles and knowledge of biological sciences at all levels will be in high demand. The minor in Biomedical Engineering enhances opportunities for Clarkson’s students to meet this need. This minor is connected closely with the minor in Biomedical Science and Technology. Students from both minors participate in shared core courses along with a multidisciplinary capstone design course. Students can take only one (not both) of the two minors.
A foundation knowledge of Calculus I & II (MA131/132), Physics I & II (PH 131/132), and Biology II: Cell and Molecular Biology (BY 160) is required for this minor.
