Georgia Tech College of Engineering Welcome Academic Programs ... Giving to Tech
Biomedical engineering may be considered to be the new frontier of the engineering profession. The need for engineers trained in biomedicine is increasing at a tremendous pace. Always in the forefront of engineering, Georgia Tech has been involved in biotechnology-related research and education since the mid-1980's. In 1997, Tech joined with Emory University to form a unique academic entity that evolved out of a need to formalize collaborative research efforts and provide an innovative educational forum between the two Atlanta institutions. This academic unit reports to both the College of Engineering at Georgia Tech and the School of Medicine at Emory University. The Department of Biomedical Engineering takes advantage of the strong traditions of each institution, enabling the department to define new degree programs that integrate a rigorous grounding in life sciences and engineering, with real world experience in industry and clinical medicine. Research in biomedical engineering holds the potential for major breakthroughs in medicine, basic science, and applied technology. Innovations in medical imaging, computer-assisted surgery, medical devices, and more efficient delivery of drugs to disease sites are research pursuits for BME. | |
