Review the MEng BME curriculum |
MEng students will complete the Core Industry Preparatory Courses and Internship, Departmental Requirements, and will choose technical electives in one of the following areas of concentration:
- Imaging and Biophotonics
- Cardiac and Neuroengineering
- Biomaterials
- Bioengineering and Tissue Engineering
- Biomechanics
As a leader in biomedical engineering research, the Duke BME offers an outstanding opportunity for Master of Engineering students. Being at the forefront of ground-breaking research means we integrate theory and practice in our classrooms and discussions. Collaborations exist with many Duke Medical Center departments, such as the Duke Comprehensive Cancer Center and the Center for In Vivo Microscopy (CIVM).
As a student in the MEng program, you will receive personalized guidance from a faculty mentor and advisor. In addition, our relationships with internationally respected biotech firms in nearby Research Triangle Park, such as Siemens Medical Systems, Boehringer Mannheim, Genentech, Genetronics, Glaxo Wellcome, Guidant, and Medtronic may provide unique opportunities for internships.
Departmental Research
Although research is not a required part of the MEng curriculum, departmental research influences the intellectual conversation in the classroom. Current research activities of the department include:
- Biomechanics of blood flow, cells, and hard and soft tissues
- Biomolecular and tissue engineering
- Electrical activity of the heart and brain
- Neuroengineering
- Biomedical optics, biophotonics, and ultrasound imaging systems
